Unbelievable: Investigations into Ghosts, Poltergeists, Telepathy, and Other Unseen Phenomena from the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory by Stacy Horn

1.0


Ugh. This is a terribly-written collection of credulous craposity. Ostensibly a history of the Duke Paraspychology Lab, it uses the lab only as a springboard to promote bullshit like poltergeists, ghosts, and psychics. The work of the lab itself was interesting but accounts for only about a quarter of the book, the rest being a handful of sloppily strung-together anecdotes of well-trod territory such as the Amityville Horror and The Exorcist. It is also full of typographical errors, but that's probably not the author's fault.

You know what's annoying? There are so many talented writers out there who can't get their work published, but dreck like this just keeps getting churned out. Save your money and hours of your life; this book is rubbish.
