The Murder of Marilyn Monroe (as told by a Ouija board)

The Murder of Marilyn Monroe, by Leonore Canevari, and others (TPB, 1992, $3)

"This is the amazing account of a series of contacts made by a group of leading psychics with the most famous personality of our century. A spiritual guide introduced Marilyn Monroe, at Marilyn's insistence, to this circle of mediums; for she was seeking out a voice to make known the truth of how and why she died."

I may be sceptical about the paranormal, but I am not entirely a disbeliever, but a Ouija board? It sure must have taken quite a bit of time to communicate all that they said she did! On the other hand, how else would you be able to ask JFK not only if he had Marilyn killed, but also who killed him in Dallas.

I will also take issue with their description of Marilyn as the most famous personality of the 20th century. Famous, yes, but the most famous personality? Give me a break.

Look for this book on the new non-fiction table. OK, I know it is a stretch, but the authors probably really think it is non-fiction.
