Surviving Florida: A Field Guide to the Weird and Unexplainable Paperback – Large Print, October 22, 2025

Part survival handbook, part folklore compendium, Surviving Florida: A Field Guide to the Weird and unexplainable is your indispensable guide to staying alive—and slightly amused—in America’s strangest state.Compiled from decades of questionable research, half-remembered storm reports, and whispered campground stories, this illustrated field guide catalogues Florida’s most unpredictable natural and unnatural phenomena: hurricanes that move like living things, sinkholes with appetites, glowing swamps, spectral gators, and the occasional misplaced tourist.Inside, you’ll find:- Practical survival advice that might work (and certainly won’t hurt).- Field notes on local cryptids, legends, and wildlife that bites back.- Genuine safety checklists blended with folklore warnings.- Archival-style maps, diagrams, page games, and mysterious documents unearthed from “official” sources.Written in the tone of an educational field guide with a mix of humor, Surviving Florida blurs the line between fact, myth, and the humid confusion in between.Whether you’re a resident, a researcher, or just passing through with bad timing, this book will help you survive the unexpected, understand the inexplicable, and appreciate the absurd—Florida style.
