BENJAMIN RADFORD AT BOOKWORKS 6:00 PM TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8!

New Mexico non-fiction author Benjamin Radford is talking about and signing his latest effort – Weird New Mexico: More Miracles, Magic, and Monsters in the Land of Enchantment – 6:00 pm Tuesday, September 8, at Bookworks!

The author of Mysterious New Mexico returns to explore and explain another dozen strange stories of the mysterious and weird in the “Land of Enchantment,” including the infernal Taos Hum, the Dulce Alien Base, and the Hobbs Weeping Statue.  New Mexico has a well-earned reputation as home to the mysterious and bizarre.  It is a land of contradictions and stark contrasts, a place where the exceptional and the commonplace, the rational and the mystical, mix freely.  Sometimes the strangeness is well-known — even world-famous — such as the 1947 Roswell crash.  Other stories of ghosts, monsters, miracles, and magic are told only in hushed whispers or as ancient riddles that lurk under the sun-baked desert sands.  In Weird New Mexico researcher Benjamin Radford examines monsters and miracles, ghost stories and UFOs, conspiracy theories and historical mysteries across the Land of Enchantment.

Radford is an award-winning author of over a dozen books including Mysterious New Mexico: Miracles, Magic, and Monsters in the Land of Enchantment and Tracking the Chupacabra: The Vampire Beast in Fact, Fiction, and Folklore (both from UNM Press) as well as Investigating Ghosts: The Scientific Search for Spirits.  He is a folklorist, filmmaker, and a longtime editor of Skeptical Inquirer science magazine.  He lives in Corrales.
