It was a decent enough read; with no discernible point behind it. This book would serve well as a primer for someone interested in the paranormal: everything from psi capabilities, to cryptids, and aliens. I'm not sure if the editor was really going for anything more than that.

Check it out if you have time to kill. It's not a bad read for the bus, or shortly before bed.

Mostly poor choice of selections for this collection. It's a book marketed to university libraries as a "resource" but not worth it. Teachers would do far better finding their own readings online.
