Not to mention the Great Stalacpipe Organ in Virginia, Turkmenistan's 40-year hole of fire called the Gates of Hell, a graveyard for decommissioned ships on the coast of Bangladesh, eccentric bone museums in Italy, or a weather-forecasting invention that was powered by leeches, still on display in Devon, England.

This resource is essential for exploring the world and engaging adventure with wit and style (often from the comfort of my bed).” —LENA DUNHAM, creator of Girls and author of Not That Kind of Girl “My favorite travel guide! Never start a trip without knowing where a haunted hotel or a mouth of hell is!” —GUILLERMO DEL TORO, filmmaker, Pan’s Labyrinth “What a strange and wonderful book! It is as curious and surprising as Saddam Hussein’s very own Blood Qur’an—written in his own blood—which I would never have known about had I not read the amazing Atlas Obscura.” —JON RONSON, author of So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed “This book is as curious and enthralling as the world it covers. Bestest travel guide ever.” —MARY ROACH, author of Stiff and Gulp &l
"One part Ripley's Believe It or not, One part National Geographic Magazine, and Entirely Enjoyable" according to rebogamy. The world is still filled with interesting, exotic, and improbable places. In the twenty-first century, when you can wash down your KFC chicken with a Starbucks vente frappucino in Beijing, it is refreshing to re-discover the awe and mystery of travel. This is a perfect book for a two minute break whenever your spirit needs boosting. Whether you find Jeremy Bentham's mummified corpse at University College London; the Beer Bottle Temple in Sisaket, Thailand;. "A book as rich and unexpected as the world it covers" according to Mark Mulvey. This book exceeded my already higher-than-average expectations. It's gorgeously designed and PACKED with interestingness on every page. The page layouts are complex and varied too, so it's fun to flip through and land on random sections about odd, wondrous places and artifacts halfway around the world (or in your own hometown!). So the act of making your way through the book feels like the kind of discovery and adventure covered in the content itself. Brill. Oh Yeah! Kathleen This is a gorgeous book, beautiful dust cover, huge and yummy with information, pictures and fantastic destinations. This can be a ready-made bucket list! I love their web site and this is even easier to lose. Thank goodness there are people who love odd things as much as I do. Thanks Josh Foer, Dylan Thuras and Ella Morton!
