Greg Taylor's nonfiction anthology Darklore Volume II has just come out. Greg runs the much-trafficked Web site The Daily Grail and sometimes participates in comment threads on this blog.
Like Volume I, the second volume in the series is a collection of essays on various topics of interest to paranormal enthusiasts. One of the essays in Volume II is my own "R-101," about the loss of the R-101 airship and some highly evidential mediumistic communications that followed. (This article is adapted from one that I posted online at my author Web site.)
Here are the other highlights, according to Greg's writeup:
Professor Stephen Braude writes about the 'Fear of Psi', Theo Paijmans shares some of his groundbreaking new research into UFO/ET reports from the 19th century, Nick Redfern discusses the mysteries of Loch Ness (besides that well-known beastie), Jon Downes looks at the history of Japanese soldiers who fought on after the official end of World War II, Paul Devereux teaches some little known history about European witchcraft and psychedelics, Mike Jay provides some startling new insights into the beginnings of Illuminati lore, and I write about the occult underpinnings of modern rock music. … Also: Michael Tymn tells the fascinating story of an early 'near death experience', Mac Tonnies ponders on whether UFOs are the vanguards of a post-biological intelligence, Neil Arnold reveals the chilling history of the 'Bennington Triangle', … Filip Coppens has the inside story of the discovery of the crystal skull, Regan Lee discusses Mothman, Blair MacKenzie Blake shares his thoughts on the possible role of DMT in magick, and The Emperor points out the links between paranormal events and strange fogs and mists.
