A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven Or, How I Made Peace with the Paranormal and Stigmatized Zealots and Cynics in the Process

Corey Taylor has seen a lot of unbelievable things. The Grammy Award-winning singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour's curiosity has drawn him into situations that wouldâe(tm)ve sent most people screaming scared and running for the hills. Coreyâe(tm)s ballsy enough to go into the darkness and deal with the consequences though. As a result, heâe(tm)s seen ghosts up close and personal, whether it be while combing through an abandoned house in his native Iowa as a child or recording an album in the fabled Houdini Hollywood Hills mansion. Heâe(tm)s also got the memories (and scars) to prove it. For some reason, he canâe(tm)t seem to shake these spectral stories, and that brings us to this little tome right here... At the same time, being an erudite, tattooed, modern Renaissance Man, he never bought into the whole God thing. Simply put, heâe(tm)s seen ghosts, but he hasnâe(tm)t seen Jesus. Corey especially canâe(tm)t find a reason why people do the insane things they do in HIS name. Thatâe(tm)s where everything really gets interesting. His second book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, compiles Coreyâe(tm)s most intimate, incredible, and insane moments with the supernatural. His memories are as vivid as they are vicious. As he recounts these stories, he questions the validity of religious belief systems and two-thousand-year-old dogma. As always his rapid-fire writing, razor sharp sense of humour, unbridled honesty, and cosy anecdotes make quite the case for his point. You might end up believing him or not. Thatâe(tm)s up to you, of course. Either way, youâe(tm)re in for a hell of ride.
