An edition of Timewatch that looks at the supposed revelation in certain “history” books which claim to provide clues to unsolved mysteries. Taking the claims of the writers of one of these books at face value at first, the programme then very carefully deconstructs the story, revealing it to be utterly false.

I’m currently reading The Sookie Stackhouse Novels (the True Blood books) and was looking for something similar. Recommendations don’t necessarily have to involve vampires. I just like mystery/fantasy type books. I’m going to Borders tomorrow to pick up the latest Sookie Stackhouse book and thought I could get something else in addition. Thanks!

I look for those same types of books too. I’m the perfect person to help! Here ya go:
