A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven

Or, How I Made Peace with the Paranormal and Stigmatized Zealots and Cynics in the Process

By: Corey Taylor

Narrated by: Corey Taylor

Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

In this book, Corey Taylor undertakes something never before attempted in the history of rock superstardom: he takes you with him as he journeys undercover through various ghostbusting groups who do their best to gather information and evidence about the existence of spirits. Some are more credible than others, and, frankly, some are completely insane, but all are observed with appropriate seriousness as Taylor attempts to better understand some of the spooky things that have happened to him in his life, especially that night at the Cold House.

But that's not all, folks. Taylor once again gives you a behind-the-scenes tour of his crazy life and the many beyond-the-grave events he's encountered. (You'll be shocked how often Slipknot has been invaded by the supernatural). Taylor also touches on his religious background and how it led him to believe in much more than the Man in the Sky.

Great Stories Taken With a Grain of Salt

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I can only recommend this to people who like ghost stories or people who take an interest in Corey Taylor.

Any additional comments?

If you like Corey Taylor's work and take an interest in him as a person, you will enjoy this book. It very much reads like someone's thought process, filled with entertaining tangents and good stories. It doens't change my personal opinion on the paranormal, and his "Intelligent Energy" idea is full of holes and guesses, but it's something to, at bare minimum, acknowledge.
