Count Dante's incredibly strange memoir hits stores.

TORONTO. April 4, 2008.

After nearly seven years of slugging it out with Sasquatches and battling the Poontangler, Incredibly Strange Wrestler and announcer Count Dante (AKA Bob Calhoun) retired from the squared circle to write his memoirs. The result of The Count’s post-Incredibly Strange Wrestling literary labors, the punk-wrestling memoir Beer, Blood and Cornmeal, is currently shipping to stores across North America. In Beer, Blood & Cornmeal, Dante/Calhoun pulls back the curtain on ISW’s organized and insane theatrics.

Beer, Blood and Cornmeal weighs in at over 300 pages with 32 color pages of photos illustrating all the in-ring mayhem and rock and roll madness. Not only does Dante’s book give readers the behind the scenes tale of San Francisco’s punk rock/lucha libre spectacular, it also details the 1990s San Francisco music scene that ISW sprang from. V. Vale of RE/Search Publications, a purveyor of the Incredibly Strange, contributes the book’s foreword where he writes: “We are fortunate that this picaresque saga of one 6'3", 300-pound musician-hulk's experience with the performance art entity known as Incredibly Strange Wrestling exists.”
