Cheapjack survey of many of the outlandish pseudo-theories surrounding the fate of nine Russian skiers who, in 1959, hiked into the Ural Mountains and froze to death under mysterious circumstances. McCloskey strips the internet in search of UFOs, paranormal activity, military testing, and other ridiculous explanations, giving the most time to one man's tale of his alleged encounter with floating lights, which he then hilariously embellishes in order to tie it to the Dyatlov Pass Incident. Readers are advised to save their money and open Wikipedia instead, for though the Dyatlov case is a real campfire story, this book is merely fuel for the blaze. See also Devil's Pass, the Renny Harlin-directed "found footage" film about the same incident.
