My New Book

My newest book, "Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest," is now available.

OK, so it's not a book on the paranormal, it's a humorous travelogue about my trip from Missouri to Canada on a rural highway to find some really good beer. I do explore a 1960s UFO encounter near Long Prairie, Minnesota, in Chapter 8, so it's kinda paranormal. It's also lots of fun.

Copies are available from my publisher, North Star Press, or Amazon. If you want an autographed copy, contact me at sjasonoffutt@gmail.com.

Enjoy.

New Paranormal Posts

Wow. How easy it is to fall behind. No excuses here, just an apology for not posting in a while. Here are my three latest paranormal offerings at Mysterious Universe:

1) We've all heard of Black-Eyed Kids, those creepy, surprisingly lucid children who demand to be let into a person's home. In a semi-hypnotic haze, the homeowner almost lets them in ... almost. These stories are strikingly similar, but occasionally one will emerged that is much more terrifying: "When Paranormal Entities Change Their Own Rules."

2) Gnomes, trolls, goblins; these are all make-believe entities from our superstitious past, right? Not according to people who've seen these diminutive beasties: "Encounters With Gnomes - Part 1."

3) Part two of this short series takes us to Porterville, California, where two different families were terrorized by the same cackling, evil little man: "Encounters With Gnomes - Part 2."

Enjoy.

TwinStar Media Announces Jason Offutt's Debut Novel, "The Dead Earth"

PRESS RELEASE: TwinStar Media signs zombie novel “The Dead Earth”

JAN 14

Posted by TwinStar Media

TwinStar is excited to announce the signing of a new novel: “The Dead Earth” by Jason Offutt!

A brief synopsis of the story:

All signs pointed toward Omaha, Nebraska, as the safe zone. In Omaha, survivors could escape the Crazies and the Piper. They just had to get there in one piece.

The Piper: the nickname of a new, popular, over-the-counter antidepressant made from Ophiocordyceps unilatteralis, a fungus found deep in the Southeast Asian rainforest. The fungus soon begins to infect the millions of people who took the drug, literally changing who you are on the inside.  For the survivors of the new worldwide pandemic, your personality and moral fiber (or lack thereof) will lump you into one of three categories: the Goodies, the Baddies, or the Crazies.

Individuals and groups of Goodies crawl across the American Heartland toward Nebraska.

Past the burning cities.

Past the hanging fields.

Past each other.

They are all hoping to find this safe haven, none expecting what really awaits them.

Oh, and there’s a guy who talks only in dialogue from Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Nobody said the end of the world had to betotally depressing.

About the Author: Jason Offutt’s published non-fiction paranormal and humor books include “Paranormal Missouri,” “What Lurks Beyond,” “Darkness Walks: Shadow People Among us,” “Haunted Missouri,” “On Being Dad,” and the upcoming “Through a Corn-Swept Land.”  He lives with his family in Northwest Missouri where he teaches college journalism and keeps humanity safe from the forces of evil.  Visit Jason online and learn more about his work at JasonOffutt.blogspot.com.
