  Missed connections, awful meals, embarrassing situations, ghastly faux pas, and less than perfect accommodations: nothing makes a travel story more entertaining than something gone wrong. The adventurers in Hyenas Laughed at Me and Now I Know Why have had more than their share of travel challenges, and were willing to swallow their pride to share these mishaps with lucky readers.

From a monster dildo that won’t go away to becoming the prey of religious zealots at the world’s largest human gathering to the proverbial “hair in my soup” at a fancy French restaurant, these 28 true tales of misadventure will entertain, amuse, and occasionally horrify. In locales ranging from Costa Rica to Calcutta to the African Bush, the well-known and emerging writers in Hyenas Laughed at Me and Now I Know Why invite readers along to explore the lighter side of travel. Warning: you may require an oxygen mask and your ribs fixed after reading this collection.

In Hyenas Laughed at Me and Now I Know Why, readers will:

* Come face to face with a deadly snake and a giant Russian the very same day

* Enter the world of East African scams at their hilarious worst

* Explore the mystery of a gigantic dildo that dominated a Mexican journey

* Endure the ridicule of millions at the world’s largest gathering in India

* Experience the curse of being monolingual in a Geneva copy shop

* Enjoy a U.S. border crossing in the company of a young woman dressed like Morticia Addams…and much more.

Notable authors include: Elliott Hester, William Dalrymple, Rolf Potts, Jennifer L. Leo, Laurie Gough, Richard Sterling, Stephanie Elizondo Griest, Doug Lansky, and many more.
