The journal format means that the articles range widely in content and are of mixed quality but all are worth reading and some are excellent.

I bought the book on a recommendation. It is a short book of essays by different authors. Although there is something of interest in most of the articles, they are of necessity brief and in at least one instance have already been published on the Internet. The tales are curiosities but inconclusive and I didn't feel after reading the book any better informed about the truth or otherwise of the issues raised.

A wonderful treat for students of "fringe" phenomena

Format:Hardcover
Darklore is one of those books that will both challenge and delight you with the quality of its essays, written by some of the most important and respected reasearchers of paranormal events.
Darklore is an anthology compilated and edited by Greg Taylor, the creator of the news website Daily Grail (www.dailygrail.com). In it Greg has asked the contribution of notable figures such as Daniel Pinchbeck, Michael Prescott, Loren Coleman, Nick Redfern, Robert Schoch and others; if you are a person with a deep interest in topics that are considered "heretic" by mainstream science an orthodox Academia, these names are surely familiar to you. This "forbidden" nature of the issues discussed in the essays is the very reason behind the name of the book (if you thought you will find in it magick potions or spells that your "potterian" friends are not familiar with, this is probably NOT the book for you).
Ranging from cryptozoology and the search of unknown hairy hominids, to UFOs and other more complex events, like the astounding simmilarities in the sounds described by the experimenters of different paranormal experiences --such as NDEs, OBEs, Marian apparitions and Close Encounters of the Third Kind-- Darklore will force you to stop viewing all these "weird" cases as isolated and with nothing in common; but in fact you will slowly begin to understand that deep down what we perceive and interpret as our "normal" reality, is nothing but a flimsy exterior layer that, should we dare to peel through it, reveals deeper and astounding levels, all fascinating and interconnected in ways we are just barely capable of glimpsing. Levels that are NOT absent of serious dangers, mind you, as Michael Prescott reminds to the paranormal enthusiast with his article "Hungry Ghosts".
Pick a copy of Darklore... I DARE YOU :-)
PS: And while you're at it, be sure to pay a visit to the Daily Grail website, but be cautious: exposure to its content can cause a severe level of addiction!

comfortably WEIRD

The only thing I really have to say is that this book and VOL. II just go from one end of weirdness to the other. BUY IT. No matter what your interests are, this book will at least ENTERTAIN you or whoever happens to pick it up off of your coffee table. I also found a few of the contributions to be informative to say the least.

Food for thought

The essays in this anthology will have you questioning basic assumptions or at least get you thinking a little differently.
The selections are fairly brief but filled to the brim with interesting insights and histories generally ignored by the media.
Kudos to editor Greg Taylor for getting the best of his contributors including Pinchbeck, Tymn and Redfern. The chapter on Terrance McKenna was an eye-opener.
I think this is a promising start to a regular journal or anthology series.
