The first and original! In 1995, lifelong Florida resident and award-winning journalist Eliot Kleinberg was the first to produce a book-length chronicle of his home state's weirdness - and he's not making it up!

"Any time you jam descendants of slaves, rednecks, Indians, con artists, carpetbaggers, drug smugglers, fugitives, UFO abductees, strippers, alligators, and political refugees into a flat peninsula surrounded by water but with hardly a drop to drink anymore, you get a pretty weird place. Weird Florida."

I read this first book out of sequence having received a complimentary copy of the 2nd book.
These books can and should be both read/listened to, as when reading one of them, the first reaction I had was "really" more than once. This first book has spawned the 2nd and to be honest is just as good and interesting as the other one

Many many stories of very strange, spooky and downright weirdness coming from Florida

I hope there are many more.



I have received a free audible copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review

read in the incorrect order but a hoot anyway

An absolute joy for anyone who likes trivia, bizarre facts and,often funny, tidbits of useless information, this book supplies over five and a half pleasurable hours to feed that pleasure. Although most of the tales are brief, like the 18 month child who drove his mother's car for half a mile, near one liners a bit like a comedy club performer, there are initially more developed stories, such as the lost squadron, 15 men in five planes, who went missing during a training exercise and their search party which also disappeared: yes, Burmuda Triangle stuff. Or the medical assistant who claimed to be a Baron and fell deeply in love with a 22 years old cancer patient. Denied her love whilst she lived, he stole her body ... Well, read the book.

Many of the stories were taken, with permission, from the Florida Post and there is a full referencing of materials at the conclusion. The book is read by Gavin Bruce, with a gentle enthusiasm which further enhances the reader's enjoyment. Clear diction, good modulation and sometimes a hint of surprise at what he is reading makes him a pleasure to hear.

My thanks to the rights holder of Wierd Florida, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. This is one of those delightful books which will shock and surprise, disgust and bring laughter and incredulity at some antics occurring inside Florida state. Ghosts, killers, idiot criminals, strange sports, aliens, beasties and more. And it can be picked up even if the reader has only five minutes to spare. I loved this book and warmly recommend it.
