Here is a great holiday gift for anyone’s favorite Do-it-yourselfer, handyman or anyone else who just loves a good story. ” Chilling Tales from the Porcelain Seat” is a vignette-style bathroom reader featuring the SyFy channel’s Ghost Hunters Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. The book details tales of plumbing horrors and hilarity in an easy-to-read short story format. Nothing too gross, or too scary but certainly enough to make people of all ages chuckle.
According to a news release, “The idea behind the book stems from all the strange, funny, unexplained and simply weird experiences both the Ghost Hunters and other Roto-Rooter plumbers have witnessed over the years involving pipes, drains, sinks and toilets inside America’s homes and businesses.
“There’s a story about a Roto-Rooter man called to unclog drains at a Florida alligator farm who worked in waist-deep water while handlers kept gators at bay with prods. Another story deals with a kitchen sink drain clogged from end to end with broken glass from a full case of beer bottles that had been pushed down the garbage disposal at a party. ‘Chilling Tales’ features toilet trivia and even a chapter that tells the Ghost Hunters’ inspiring story,” the release says
There are some really great stories in this book that chronicles the funny, the weird and the just plain strange. Makes a perfect gift for almost anyone on your list and is affordable at $12.95.
Feel free to check out www.chillytales.com for purchasing information, reviews and excerpts.
AND, you can enter to win it here. Two (2) lucky readers will each win a copy of the book.
To Enter: Visit www.chillytales.com and leave me a comment telling me what your craziest Porcelain Seat tale is. Mine? It would have to be the time that my son flushed an owl figurine down the toilet. The thing is…it made this weird noise and I didn’t KNOW that was what he had done. So all I knew was that the toilet was stopped up and making weird noises even when no one was in there. It was kinda scary at night when all of a sudden you would be just about asleep and all of a sudden hear a screaching sound coming from the bathroom. All entries must be received by December 3rd at 5 PM EST. All entries must have a valid US mailing address. Winners will be selected at random and will have 3 days to respond to the verification e-mail.
