The Saturday Night Ghost Club

"There's so much more to this book than you'd assume by its cover. It is easily one of my favorites! An adult brain surgeon is reflecting on spooky childhood experiences and reveals how vulnerable our minds can be!"

The Way of Zen
by Alan Watts
"Watts' conversational style of explaining the Zen lifestyle/mindset shines throughout this title. If you've never studied Zen before, or if you've been practicing for years, you will undoubtedly find something in this title that will speak to you. It's been called "the most explicit and orderly account of Zen Buddhism that has appeared in English." "

This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Don’t Touch It
by Jason Pargin
"Warning: You may have a huge, invisible spider living in your skull. THIS IS NOT A METAPHOR.
This book is hilariously written in a way that will keep you laughing the whole time. Its a fun ride and full of ridiculous scenarios and witty commentary.
From Jason Pargin (writing under David Wong), the writer of the cult sensation John Dies at the End, comes another terrifying and hilarious tale of almost Armageddon at the hands of two hopeless heroes."
