11. "I Was One of America's Top Psychics - And Like All of Them, A Complete Fraud"

Some fascinating excerpts from Mark Edwards' 2012 book, "Psychic Blues: Confessions of a Conflicted Medium:"

Twenty-five years of working the psychic streets has taught me many truths, for better or worse. Sure, I have a pile of testimonial letters. Yes, I can see the future, given the right perspective and information, and of course I can read the paw of your pet poodle. I may indeed have a great gift, but it's the gift of gab mixed with a healthy dose of imagination and nerve that has allowed me to be a psychic professionally and to now write about it.

While there, you might enjoy perusing the web site of Edward's publisher, Feral House. "High-quality books on controversial topics." If you're looking for a book of vintage crime scene photos or a history of the American skinhead movement, Feral House is the place. I have no connection with them, other than being a happy customer:
