What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA site called Collider has ranked the ten greatest weird fiction books, which are stories where reality quietly slips off its hinges.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo, books. Real ones. With pages.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd I want to be clear, every one of them is spiritually Florida. Reality slipping off its hinges is just a Tuesday outside a Publix.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe list is mostly dread in old houses and fog. There's no fog in a Publix, bro.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHumidity is just fog that got a job. I read all ten in a drive-through line.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAll ten.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFlorida Man Rating: one alligator out of five. Nobody was arrested, and the only thing missing was a man.
