Just when you thought the world couldn't get any stranger, along comes The Concrete Enema and Other News of the Weird Classics, Chuck Shepherd's collection of the weirdest true stories ever published in his popular News of the Weird newspaper column. From the title story (you'll have to read it to believe it) to the hundreds of other extraordinary tales of the odd, the bizarre and the appalling, The Concrete Enema is proof -- if any is needed -- that there are a lot of weird people running around unsupervised. - Back cover.
