The Coming of the Fairies | Arthur Conan Doyle

As a #sherlocked fanatic, I revere the original canon by C-Doyle. His belief and essay on fairies? #notsomuch #alittlecraycray

Bookwomble Doyle was sensible in not grafting his spiritualist beliefs onto the logical and materialist Holmes ("No ghosts need apply."), but his Professor Challenger stories did become a platform for them. The tagged biography is an interesting one in explaining how Doyle, the medical man of science, became an uncritical believer in the spirit world. 3mo

First book of 2024! I thought this book was interesting. If you‘re interested in unexplained phenomena, conspiracy theories or men in black stuff, this is your book!

‘Paranormal investigator Nick Redfern chronicles his surreal road trip through the United States and beyond in search of all things monstrous.‘

Interesting. If you like reading about cryptids, this is a good book to read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Godfrey wrote a lot of books about cryptids and this is one of them. Most of the accounts in this book deal with people seeing upright canids resembling what we think of as werewolves. The author was once a newspaper reporter and thus very thorough in her investigations. She even had sightings of her own. Most people will dismiss this book as myth, but the world is full of mysteries like these. Five stars

65/150 Depending on how much the reader believes in this kind of phenomena, I think it will determine how much you enjoy this book. The author is obviously a true believer. There's a lot of speculation about the origins of dogmen (men with dog heads), Sasquatches, UFOs, dimensional portals, shadow creatures and other mysterious beings, but no questions of their actual existence. I tend to be pretty skeptical, ⬇️⬇️⬇️

RamsFan1963 but I still found it enjoyable and well researched. I'd be interested to read more of the author's books on the subject of weird phenomena. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2 10mo
