There are about 235 essay, ranging from one sentence to 3-4 pages on 15 topics, each assigned an icon. There are about 355 uses of the icons in the book, but these categories are not indexed. (I have indexed these and will share with those interested.) Most popular topic Teh Feds (65 mentions), then aliens (40), and so forth to only 11 mentions of magnetism. Surpringly, drugs, computers and the "end of teh world" are amoung the topics mentioend only a dozen times or so. On a critical note, Christians will not like to see The Book of Revelation described as "science fiction." No sources are given for the articles, while a short bibliography is given, but not thematically. The index is very selective. A fun read. Many of the topics deserve a serious follow-up for authentic "inquiring minds."

Most books of this genre are usually a miserable attempt to sway the reader into believing whatever drivel the writer has to offer. Most books fail, this book is different, no lengthy stories.

This book is not a novel; it is an alphabetical listing of different stories and people and secret fears. From the Trenchcoat Mafia to Bill Gates you'll read some the most bizarre tales you've ever read before.

While most of the stories are harmless, such stretch the realm of possibility and other are completely out in left field. Overall the book is an easy and quick read and quite enjoyable.

My major disappointment was the author only scratched the surface on every topic, I think that if the book was written as a quick reference it did an excellent job. If this book was for anything deeper, you might want to find another resource.

This book looked very intresting by the description on the back. The readers are promised answers to many paranormal and conspiracy related questions, but what we get is a long-winded introduction that more or less ridicules those people who chose to believe some of the topics listed. Nothing is ever answered, topics are just listed matter of fact with no real depth to any one subject. The author calls these topics, "varying degrees of human greed, fear, and stupidity." (Pg. 27)

The author never takes a diffinitive stand on anything. There is a big market for paranormal books out there and it seems as though the author wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but not knowing what he believes in just chose to list things out instead of stick to anyone topic.

Any real paranormal buff would not find this worth the time or money.
