Product Description
In his first book, Peter Huston unmasked the amazing array of paranormal con artists littering the fringes of society today. From phony psychics to crop circle hoaxers to New Age hucksters, Huston revealed exactly how these otherworldly swindlers get rich by fleecing the gullible among us. In this new book, Huston casts his critical eye further afield, exposing the latest fraudulent schemes and scams being perpetrated through such seemingly normal pursuits as the environmental movement, politics, the world of science and evangelical Christianity. He also delves deep into some truly bizarre subcultures and explores how slick operators manipulate believers in UFOs, mythical beasts, angels, the occult and more. Funny and informative!
About The Author
After several years involved with formal skepticism, Peter Huston still occasionally finds time to investigate and write about the paranormal, strange claims, and other bizarre behavior on the fringes of American culture. The former newspaper reporter, EMT, concert security guard, and general jack of all trades is the author of two other books. Besides writing science fiction, his interests include psychology, languages, Asian cooking and cultures, and the martial arts.
