description: SOMETHING FOUL THIS WAY COMES  Witnesses the world over claim to see spirits, UFOs, Sasquatch, and other phenomena that are not supposed to exist. Most cannot believe their eyes, yet some of these observers have also detected evidence of a more ephemeral nature—odors abound, in particular the stench of brimstone.  In the first book of its kind, Joshua Cutchin, author of the highly praised "A Trojan Feast," documents these uncommon scents and poses a startling possibility... that smell is a sense ripe for deception.  We trust our eyes and ears, but should we trust our noses?  JOSHUA CUTCHIN is a native of North Carolina with a long interest in Forteana. He holds a Masters in Music Literature and a Masters in Journalism from the University of Georgia, and currently resides in Roswell, Georgia. His first book was A Trojan Feast: The Food and Drink Offerings of Aliens, Faeries, and Sasquatch, published by Anomalist Books. Cutchin is also a published composer and maintains an active performing schedule as a jazz and rock tuba player, having appeared on eight albums and live concert DVDs. He can be regularly heard on the weekly Where Did the Road Go? midweek podcast, and maintains an online presence at JoshuaCutchin.com.  "The Brimstone Deceit can rightly be called an instant classic because it articulates a refreshingly original approach to the paranormal and more importantly, how witnesses interpret their experiences. Joshua Cutchin carefully builds his case with fascinating, startling, and entertaining accounts from throughout history to show us that when it comes to UFOs, Bigfoot, and other high strangeness, the nose may really know what has been knocking at our doors for millennia." — Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
