Raiders of the Unknown (Mystic-Skeptic Radio)
Society & Culture:Philosophy
In this week's show we are joined by author and filmmaker Eric Bickernicks, he wrote Higher Strange and it's sequel Higher Strangeness. His first satirical novel was "Artifice" back in 2016. His latest work, "Higher Strangeness," is a surreal exploration of conspiracy culture, inspired by the likes of Q-Anon, Alex Jones, Pizzagate and the paranoia surrounding surveillance technology. I think of it as The Turner Diaries for the intelligent.This novel is the second installment in my "High Strangeness" series. The first book sets the stage by satirizing UFO culture, crashed saucers and alien grey folklore.
"Something strange has arrived on Cape Cod, and it’s not just the UFOs.
Ken Wakeman, a skeptical UFOlogist who seeks the truth about paranormal phenomenon, struggles to discredit the myriad of crackpot theories out there. Melissa "Mel" Howard, a reporter for a small Cape Cod newspaper, copes with the seasonal tourist invasion and its accompanying anxieties. When the Cape becomes the national focus over a rash of UFO sights, they join forces to get to the bottom it.
Despite denials from town officials and the military that UFOs have landed, mass hysteria overcomes the seaside community. In addition to the frantic humans, Astro, Ken’s Golden Retriever has also been acting strangely.
Joining the invasion is Klick, the promiscuous leader of a spandex-clad UFO cult whose members want to “amalgamate” with the Fornacisians when their spaceship lands. Mel learns that when dealing with wing nuts, the truth isn’t necessarily “out there”. Tom Frasier, an infamous proponent of crashed saucers and frozen alien bodies, claims the local military base houses some intriguing secrets. After a visit from the FBI gives legitimacy to Tom’s story, Ken will ultimately decide how far he’s willing to go to witness humanity’s greatest close encounter."
