⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. One of my better finds this year.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Five stars from me.
Finally got around to ordering this. You can tell why this work has endured. Shipping was quick too.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Five stars from me.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.
Auerbach delivers a compelling, intellectually stimulating guide that prioritizes scientific theory over spooky entertainment. It is ideal for readers willing to engage with complex parapsychological concepts and rigorous investigative methods. However, those seeking light-hearted ghost stories or immediate practical exorcism rituals will likely find this text dry and overly academic. The book demands a patient mind interested in the mechanics of consciousness and spectral phenomena rather than mere thrill-seeking. It is not suitable for casual readers expecting simple answers to complex supernatural mysteries, as it requires active engagement with its theoretical framework.
