Rabid Nun Infects Entire Convent: And Other Sensational Stories from a Tabloid Writer

CONFESSIONS OF A TABLOID WRITER WHO DOVE INTO THE CESSPOOL OF HIS OWN MIND AND CAME UP WITH INCREDIBLE TABLOID STORIESSome 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 DAntoni.

After fifteen years as a journalist and broadcasterfifteen years of going after sources and double- and triple-checking factsDAntoni was seduced by the dark side: a national supermarket tabloid.

When he realized he could entirely make up stories and then quote people hed just inventedand get paid (poorly) for ithe was hooked.In Rabid Nun Infects Entire Convent, DAntoni 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 Ladys B.O.

Kills Five People on Bus, and Cult Uses Human Heads for Bowling Balls, they all came straight from DAntonis imagination.From the Trade Paperback edition.
