Recensioner i media

"this latest Anomalist anthology offers a wide range of short(ish) articles to stimulate the fortean imagination...The most contentious contribution is a piece by 'Aeolus Kephas' exploring the implications of treating anthropologist Carlos Castaneda and alien abductee Whitley Strieber as genuine witnesses of shamanic phenomena, conduits for superior intelligence. This is an intriguing thought experiment, but I still suspect The Teachings of Don Juan and Communion are ingenious fiction rather than travelogues from the Land of Magonia. However, this anthology deserves a place on every fortean's bookshelf." - Paul Sieveking, Fortean Times

 "texts contain hidden secrets, and new technologies are helping to unearth them. older texts may contain the strangest stories and the ones that require the most textual analysis to help tease out their meaning. as always in the Anomalist the good stuff far outweighs the dross, and recommended to all Forteans and explorers of the matrix of ghosts." - Peter Rogerson, Magonia
