The 58 stories in this collection range over a wide variety of subject matter: hurricanes, criminals, sinkholes, scuba diving, jazz clubs, sex, surfing, nude beaches, Sea World, Disney World, racism, Cuban-Americans, the terminally ill, drug addiction, conservation. And, although the stories are centered around Orlando, many of the stories also take place throughout Florida: in Miami, Tampa, Cape Canaveral, Ft. Myers and the Florida Keys ("Where the weird turn pro"). Some of the stories would be considered to be too bizarre---except they were based on true incidents.
