Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
One might think of Juanita Rose Violini's first book as a refreshing, very selective history of the world with all the boring parts omitted. Few previous historians, for example, have focused on April 7, 1938, a day when, at remote locations, three men spontaneously combusted. Violini's aptly titled Almanac of the Infamous, the Incredible and the Ignored sets its beams on those strange things and weird occurrences that entertain us long after stories of battles and explorers slip into oblivion. The 365 daily entries include: "March 30th -- Triangles over Belgium"; "April 5th -- Mosquito Executes Curse." "July 15th -- Tiny Coffins & Pygmie Flints."
Library Journal
This delightful, curiosity-rousing guide offers 365 international tales of the unexplained, paranormal, and bizarre. And unlike a conventional reference resource, the tales are organized not by theme or location but as a calendar, with a story per day. Events alleged to have occurred on specific dates correspond with the appropriate date in the book. Accompanied by whimsical line drawings by Violini (blogger, mysterytrivia.wordpress.com), entries close with thematically relevant quotes, eccentric goals, and activities to help achieve them. While this work does not offer scholarly explanation, journalistic inquiry, or scientific foundation, it is still a genuinely absorbing, entertaining read.

    Life imitating Art?

    It is said that truth is stranger than fiction. This wonderfully written and well researched book certainly makes this point clear! It is written in short bursts of energy, which emit excitement to match! So much fun to read! The pictures or illustrations are delightful! Violini conveys factual details from strange phenomenon all over the world, and yet still manages to leave the reader with the impression of her interesting, fun, and spiritual personality.

    One can believe each individual report or not. However, after weighing all the evidence presented in this book, if it is in fact the first one you have read containing information on strange, unexplainable (by human standards) events your mind must open to the possibility there is so much we do not understand. Most of what we do not understand, we do not need to be afraid of. I am not certain who once said, "Every time we think we know the answers, we find we only have more questions!"

    This book is fun to read, and certainly should make one think. A wonderful book, I highly recommend!
