CONFESSIONS OF A TABLOID WRITER WHO DOVE INTO THE CESSPOOL OF HIS OWN MIND AND CAME UP WITH INCREDIBLE TABLOID STORIES
" Some people aspire to greatness. A combination of bad parenting and coming of age in Baltimore, Maryland, at the same time as John Waters pushed me in a different direction, " writes Tom D' Antoni. After fifteen years as a journalist and broadcaster- fifteen years of going after sources and double- and triple-checking facts- D' Antoni was seduced by the dark side: a national supermarket tabloid. When he realized he could entirely make up stories and then quote people he' d just invented- and get paid (poorly) for it- he was hooked. In Rabid Nun Infects Entire Convent, D' Antoni resurrects his favorite stories and reveals the (often sick) thoughts that inspired them. From the mild " Newborn Baby Sings Like Elvis" and " Denture Bandit Steals False Teeth from the Mouths of Victims" to the truly twisted, such as " Grandma Turns Pet Dog Inside Out Looking for Lost Lottery Ticket, " " Bag Lady's B.O. Kills Five People on Bus, " and " Cult Uses Human Heads for Bowling Balls, " they all came straight from D' Antoni's imagination.
