Why read it?

1 author picked Weird Indiana as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It is apparent how much effort was put into researching these stories. Not only paranormal and cryptids are featured but, history and unique locations of interest are exhumed.

From Bill's list on variety of quest for knowledge.
