Description
Discover a thrilling time capsule of 1960s esoteric history, curated for the modern collector of the strange and unusual.
The Weird, the Wild, and the Wicked is a fascinating, rare collaboration between legendary paranormal investigator Brad Steiger and renowned British psychic John Pendragon. Originally published in September 1969, this volume gathers fifty purportedly true, bizarre accounts that blur the boundary between fact, crime, and folklore.
From the secret histories of the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans and mysterious supernatural healings to notorious true-crime chronicles like Ma Barker, this book delivers a hypnotic snapshot of mid-century occult obsession.
