Synopsis

In this book, Corey Taylor undertakes something never before attempted in the history of rock superstardom: he takes you with him as he journeys undercover through various ghostbusting groups who do their best to gather information and evidence about the existence of spirits. Some are more credible than others, and, frankly, some are completely insane, but all are observed with appropriate seriousness as Taylor attempts to better understand some of the spooky things that have happened to him in his life, especially that night at the Cold House.

But that's not all, folks. Taylor once again gives you a behind-the-scenes tour of his crazy life and the many beyond-the-grave events he's encountered. (You'll be shocked how often Slipknot has been invaded by the supernatural.) Taylor also touches on his religious background and how it led him to believe in much more than the Man in the Sky.

Goodreads review by Burgoo on September 06, 2013

Sometimes a book turns out to be very different than your expectations. A Funny Thing Happened is an example of this phenomenon. The press for the book describes it as Taylor “journeys through various ghostbusting groups”. That’s not exactly what happens here. What happens is that Taylor discusses s......more

My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars A copy of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven was provided to me by Da Capo Press for review purposes.

Goodreads review by Alyson on November 28, 2023

I don't know what it is, but I could sit and listen to Corey prattle on ALL day without being bored. I think this book is quite niche in its audience range, and it would seem I am that audience. I find his experiences interesting and theories entertaining to hear. I think it's because we may have a......more

Goodreads review by Liz on April 21, 2017

This book was given to me by a friend after we'd had a discussion on ghosts and the supernatural. While occasionally entertaining I can't really say that this book is truly worth reading. It is something to read on a train, or a busride, or a flight just to pass the time and be done with it. The wri......more
