Offers an examination of the agony and horrors of schizophrenia. The "strange tales" of the title are real stories of real families. There is, for example, Brian Silcox who, when not taking his drugs, believed he could deive spiritual strength from communing with lions, so he climbed the 16' fence into the lion enclosure at London Zoo. There is also the woman in Colarado with 12 adult children, seven of whom are schizophrenic, and all of whom live in the same house.
