Spanning the breadth of the country, from New York to California, these are travel guides of a sort, but to the kind of places voyagers will never find on their everyday maps. Instead, they’re chock-full of local legends, crazy characters, cursed roads, and bizarre roadside attractions and there are quite a few weird things in California.

The 'San Francisco Chronicle' says: “Weird U.S. is delicious armchair reading. Who can resist an ax-wielding man in a bunny suit, a home shaped like a giant shoe, cannibal albino villages, midget colonies, passages to hell or close relations of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster?"

Native Californians & visitors alike need this book. See the best weird things this great state has to offer.

For fun weekend exploring, check out some of the attractions in Weird California. It's on my bookshelf right now, inviting me to choose my next funky little road trip.
