⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. It assumes more background than a beginner might have.
Exactly what I was looking for. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Definitely recommend.
Was skeptical at first. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Solid, if not essential.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Recommended with reservations.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Every rereading turns up something I missed. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
Tony and Jenny Brueski successfully translate their podcast’s engaging narrative style into a compelling volume of verified paranormal encounters. The book stands out for its investigative eye, treating each story with dignity rather than exploitation. However, it is not suited for readers seeking graphic horror or fictional thrillers; the focus remains on real-life spiritualism and the afterlife. Those looking for academic rigor in parapsychology may find the narrative approach too anecdotal. Yet, for enthusiasts of ghost stories that respect the subjects and explore the mechanics of spirit communication, this anthology serves as a chilling yet informative testament to the reality of hauntings.
