Alabama Curiosities

Discover Alabama's curious underside with this oddly entertaining little guide! Travelers with a taste for the bizarre, tacky, and hilarious can visit the Coon Dog Cemetery, learn about the cattle-mutilation mystery, view the world's largest boll weevil, and sip Kudzu Tea. Only a true Southerner could capture the essence of these and other authentic Alabama phenomena, and Andy Duncan does his home state proud.

Andy Duncan is an award-winning writer and lifelong Southerner whose fiction and nonfiction works have appeared in numerous books and periodicals. His first book, Beluthahatchie and Other Stories (Golden Gryphon Press, 2000), won the 2001 World Fantasy Award for Best Collection. He lives in Northport, Alabama.
