Reviews

[Charyl · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't appreciate the handful of sexist remarks made about women--but I guess you have to take into account that it was written in the 1930's; otherwise, some interesting information here.

[Dfordoom · Rating 3 out of 5]

Price, who died in 1948, was one of the first people to attempt to put the study of psychic phenomena on a scientific basis. He exposed countless cases of fraud but remained a strange mixture of gullibility and scepticism, continuing to believe in several mediums who were later revealed as fakes. His investigations of haunted houses inspired the classic novels of that genre, Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Richard Matheson’s Hell House. The book would have benefited from a little more scepticism itself, but it’s still fun.
