"Meet Roscoe Baragon - crack reporter at a major metropolitan newspaper. Baragon covers what is affectionately called the kook beat - off-beat stories, local color and all that - everything from abductions (a man who claims to have been kidnapped by the state of Alaska) to a woman who is convinced that aliens have stolen all her plumbing fixtures. Could it be that Baragon is having one too many when he goes home at night and unwinds with one of his dozens of videos of grade-B Japanese horror films - or is he on to the story of a lifetime, something so incredibly weird that it just might be true?"--BOOK JACKET.
