Exactly what I was looking for. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. A text you study rather than simply read. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Still worth having on the shelf.
This edition finally does the material justice. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Was skeptical at first. A text you study rather than simply read. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Already eyeing my next order.
This exceeded my expectations. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Exactly what I was looking for. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Shipping was quick too.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. One of my better finds this year.
Halls delivers a structured examination of ghostly evidence, appealing to those who prefer analysis over atmosphere. The text successfully guides readers through the process of evaluating mediums and investigators, distinguishing between dismissed illusions and unexplained phenomena. However, it may not suit readers seeking visceral horror or deep philosophical theology, as it remains focused on evidentiary assessment rather than emotional immersion. Those looking for definitive proof might find the open-ended conclusion frustrating, while hardline skeptics may still view the subject matter with disdain. It is best suited for the middle ground: those willing to consider possibility without committing to belief.
