Product Description

From the Author

Extracts from reviews
'Enthralling' - Guardian • 'The book of the decade - a dazzling work of brilliance. You are not likely to read another work that is so balanced, objective, well-reasoned and clear-thinking. Dash has an encyclopaedic knowledge, a razor-sharp intellect and a stance that should be emulated by everyone studying any aspect of strange phenomena. His act is close to impeccable' - Strange Magazine • 'A splendid piece of work' - Daily Telegraph • 'Dash is well-placed to write the definitive book on the paranormal' - The Observer • 'An amazing treasure trove' - New Scientist • 'Exhaustive, erudite and superb... Dash deals with a wide range of phenomena with wit, style and aplomb. Borderlands cannot be recommended highly enough' - Animals & Men • 'A substantial work in every sense' - Magonia • 'Funny... frightening... objective... inspiring... The broad scope leaves few sones unturned, but Dash's thoughtful approach leaves readers with their sense of mystery firmly intact. A fascinating map of the strange world we inhabit' - Catholic Herald • 'Superbly researched' - The Times • 'Deeply satisfying' - The Independent --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you only read one book on the unexplained..., 24 Sep 1999
This review is from: Borderlands (Paperback)
I'm currently re-reading this book a year after I first bought it and I'm still struck by how well written it is. It retains a sense of mystery and wonder even though it's a well balanced and often sceptical (but not absurdly so) account of a vast number of unexplained phenomena. The conclusions the author reaches are the most convincing explanations for these incidents that I have ever encountered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written with clarity and dry humour, 5 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Borderlands (Paperback)
I was lucky enough to find the hardback edition of this book being sold really cheaply and I've never regretted buying it. It deals with the full breadth of the 'fringe' phenomena. The book is well written and by turns, informative, amazing and amusing. Dash walks a tightrope between impartiality and outright scepticism. Particularly amusing is the way he completely takes apart the legend of the Loch Ness monster. There is such a wealth of information here that I seem to get something new out of his book each time I read it. I don't agree all his conclusions especially about UFOs being a product of 'fantasy prone' individuals but most of the time he seems to hit the bulls eye.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spooky stuff
Dash provides parascientific proof that the truth is indeed out there. Compulsive reading for anyone who believes we are not alone.
