      This delightful, curiosity-rousing guide offers 365 international tales of the unexplained, paranormal, and bizarre. And unlike a conventional reference resource, the tales are organized not by theme or location but as a calendar, with a story per day. Events alleged to have occurred on specific dates correspond with the appropriate date in the book. Accompanied by whimsical line drawings by Violini (blogger, mysterytrivia.wordpress.com), entries close with thematically relevant quotes, eccentric goals, and activities to help achieve them. While this work does not offer scholarly explanation, journalistic inquiry, or scientific foundation, it is still a genuinely absorbing, entertaining read.
