REVIEWS:
"An entertaining and compelling narrative....Simply put, this is
the best book I have ever read on the subject of America's
mysteries."
-- Derek Anderson, Stranger Things, Summer 2001
"The most important and detailed snapshot of forteana in modern
America....Essential reading."
-- Bob Rickard, Fortean Times, May 2001
"The ultimate book on strange phenomena and mysterious
places...in America and sets the standard for all other books on
anomalous investigations...Very highly recommended!"
-- Troy Taylor, Prairie Ghost Magazine, Jan 2001
"Coleman's latest book is perhaps his best yet."
-- Craig Heinselman, Crypto, Jan 2001
"Coleman has done more than sit in a library reading room; he
has collected information in the field...I recommend it to
everyone who is interested in the strange, bizarre, and
unusual."
-- Daniel Cohen, Fate, 1983
"...an entertaining and open-minded book...A useful reference
tool as well as a record of the unexplained."
-- Library Journal, 1983
"Objective, painstaking, exhaustive."
-- London Times, 1983
"Acquiring this classic work of the cryptozoological/Fortean
tradition will be a priceless addition to the new reader's
collection, and for the owners of version 1.0, a welcome visit
with an old friend. -– Fate
