Query: Reading this book was worse than meeting the author...

And meeting Mr. Ness was an awful experience. I realize the author is serious about what he's written and that makes is so much worse and more terrifying. The writing and editing are chaotic and the illustrations are funny in a scary way, mostly scary. Little bits of rehashed government/alien-abduction conspiracy, including anal probing, but with a new twist: Aliens are helping in the "War on Drugs."I DID NOT PAY FOR THIS BOOK! I met the author in a bar. He is, in my opinion, a mess. Shouting and spitting. After Mr. Vess drunkenly raved to my fiends and I about "the truth" and his book, the bartender forced a copy on us. Another patron had given the copy to the bartender and he couldn't wait to get rid of it.In all, it made me kind of sad.
