MORE SCAMS FROM THE GREAT BEYOND!
How to Make Even More Money Off Creationism, Evolution, Environmentalism, Fringe Politics, Weird Science, the Occult, and Other Strange Beliefs

by Peter R Huston

In the original Scams from the Great Beyond, author and skeptic Peter Huston unmasked the amazing array of paranormal con artists littering the fringes of society today. From phony psychics to crop circle hoaxers to New Age hucksters, Huston revealed exactly how these otherworldly swindlers get rich by fleecing the gullible and starry-eyed among us. In More Scams from the Great Beyond, Huston casts his critical eye further afield, exposing the latest fraudulent schemes and hard-to-believe scams being perpetrated in areas where people, passion and profits converge. Huston shows how skilled grifters are profiteering from such seemingly normal pursuits as the environmental movement, politics, the world of science and evangelical Christianity. He also delves deep into some truly bizarre subcultures and explores how slick operators manipulate believers in UFOs, mythical beasts, angels, black magic and the occult. Whether you are already a card-carrying skeptic or simply a student of fringe beliefs and weird behavior, you are guaranteed to be entertained and informed by this twisted tour of hoaxes and hustles in America today.

After several years involved with formal skepticism, Peter Huston still occasionally finds time to investigate and write about the paranormal, strange claims and other bizarre behavior on the fringes of American culture. The former newspaper reporter, EMT, concert security guard and general jack of all trades is the author of two other books. Besides writing science fiction, his interests include psychology, languages, Asian cooking and cultures, and the martial arts.
