[MegHan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I find these anthologies to be a good way to read about a sampling of varied 'occult' topics. This was probably the weakest one of the four I've read in terms of articles that I wanted to follow up with more reading on, but I enjoyed keeping it around for a few months to pick up whenever that mood struck me. I will continue on with the series.

This one contains:
"Body Snatchers: Before and Beyond" - Nick Redfern
"A Sarcophagus Beneath the Spanish Sea" - Robert Bauval
"Death Before Life After Life" - Greg Taylor
"Phillybusted..." - The Emperor
"Neverland in the Netherlands" - Neil Arnold
"Watson... The Needle!" - Mike Jay
"The Magus of Delaware" - Greg Bishop
"A Stargate for the Soul" - Philip Coppens
"Archaeology from Beyond the Grave" - Michael E. Tymn
"Above Kook Status" - Blair MacKenzie Blake
"The Mountain of God" - Robert Schoch
"Shaking Stars" - Geoff Falla
"The Occult Roots of Nazi Technology" - Theo Paijmans
"Sex, Drugs and UFOs" - Adam Gorightly

Lots of new stuff (for me, anyway). And since there's a whole series, there's going to be some interesting speculation for a while.

This is an anthology, 14 essays about various topics.

The articles that caught my attention were an alternate explanation for Roswell (it was a top-secret continuation of the Japanese medical experiments about whether people can survive at high altitudes) and debunking the Philadelphia Experiment.
