The Labyrinth13 book is divided into three sections containing (of course) 13 chapters. Included are newly updated and fully revised versions of all the stories from the original website, along with new chapters and illustrations. I have also added eight full-length appendixes, detailed and highly-readable endnotes, and lists of all source materials.

Inside Labyrinth13, you will find true tales of bizarre coincidences, strange occult happenings, unusual paranormal events, including phantom black dogs, vampires in America, werewolves and a haunted island, weird hippie cults, LSD murders, mind control, and unsolved crimes, as well as:

• The possible solution to a Da Vinci Code-style occult cryptogram over 100 years old

• The mysterious yearly visitor to Edgar Allan Poe's grave known as the Poe Toaster

• The story behind the story of the double murders that occurred on isolated Palmyra Island.

• An exploration of the unsolved Zodiac murders, including a detailed discussion of the "radian theory," and speculation that the killer may have actually been the most violent and dangerous visual artist who ever lived

• An analysis of whether the death of Kurt Cobain was murder or suicide

• A close look at aspects of the Manson/Son of Sam murders that examines the alleged connections of those crimes to a wider occult conspiracy involving the Process Church of the Final Judgment

• An expose that scrutinizes the possible role of the U.S. Government’s mind control experiments that may have been used to create programmed assassins

This book also contains detailed endnotes, fully cited resources, and highly readable appendixes - including interviews with key figures in some of the most unusual events in paranormal, conspiracy and true crime history.
