A follow-up to Invisible Horizons, with the same type of Fortean events being detailed. Like many sequels, not quite as good; lacks the focus of the first book. ( ) A grand old-fashioned cabinet of curiosities, in the best Fortean tradition, full of odd facts and obscure anecdotes and unexamined weirdnesses. This book includes everything that could possibly be covered under the categories of "Mysterious Fires and Lights", from firewalking to foo fighters, from well-known cases to obscure small-town newspaper reports. The section on recurring house fires is particularly interesting given the recent well-publicized case of Canneto di Coronia. And my only objection is that he saved spontaneous human combustion, the one thing that always gives me nightmares, for last. It's meticulously cited, but unfortunately a great many of the citations are from places like True magazine and the columns of Frank Edwards, so you have to judge the veracity on your own. And while the sections that tell the stories of the mysterious events are always fascinating, when it comes time to speculate on what they are, he fails at science. Fails hard, even making allowances for being thirty years out of date. So read for the strange events, leave the theorizing to someone else. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
