Anyone who sat in a murderer's old chair in an English public house would die, and soon, said the legend, and a series of sudden deaths was blamed on the cursed seat.Journalist Paul Bannister delved into the story of the Baffling Chair of Death, and became the National Enquirer's chief reporter of the paranormal.As 'Tabloid Man,' he covered more than spooks and psychics, however. Headline tales about celebrities like Oprah, O.J. and Obama also came from his notebook, and this frank memoir reveals just how the scandal sheets get their sensational stories, as well as revealing the secrets of classic tabloid tales, from getting Elvis' Last Picture to finding the world's tallest Christmas tree.

There is some entertaining passages, mostly around the colourful people he had to deal with but there appears to be some padding as well, including a section of unpublished stories the author thought highly of but probably could have remained so. ( )
