Jim Abbott recently greeted fans at Schuler Books in Okemos. He spoke for about ten minutes about his new memoir Imperfect before spending over two hours meeting and signing books and memorabilia for fans. It was a great night for books and baseball!

Michael
Largo is an expert on the anomalous ways of American dying – he has been
collecting statistics and information on it for over a decade. He is the author
of The Portable Obituary (a Bram Stoker Award Finalist),
Final Exits: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of How We Die (winner of the Bram
Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Nonfiction), and Genius and Heroin. His latest book God’s Lunatics chronicles the lives of celebrated mystics, martyrs,
wizards, shamans, cult leaders, founding fathers of Utopian experiments,
victims of demonic possession, and originators of New Age movements who
dedicated their lives to seek answers and explain the unknown secrets of the
universe. Overflowing with information, here are just some of the things you’ll
find in God’s Lunatics: How to
properly identify the antichrist, the origin of “Abracadabra”, which religions
believe that sex is good, and how many exorcisms are performed each year. Don’t
miss this delightfully deadful event!
