Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

From the famed Devils of Loudon to the workings of John Dee, and from Lurancy Vennum to Swedenborg, "Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters" is a fine collection of strange lore related to spirits, hauntings, strange legal cases, and spiritual dabbling. It is a skeptical work, and relates these cases in their historical context with great accuracy, with the writer attempting at times to debunk the tales being told and their prior explanations, which of course tended towards the superstitious. It mixes this with a semi-rationalized endorsement of investigations into the supermundane, by various methods, especially within the realm of psychology and the application of hypnotism, telepathy, and so forth, within a scientific context. It is a truly valuable collection of paranormal tales for the folklore lover.

Investigations Into the Superphysical: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short work by Annie Besant is a compressed basic overview of the then-present state ofthe Theosophical Society, some of its spiritual premises, and a few predictions of note from the contemporary period. It is notable in having been fundamentally correct about mankind undergoing drastic civilizational change in the imminent sense (the work does not far predate the roaring twenties after all) while positing a few reasons for this which very much fell out of favor- such as attempting to communicate with the spirits of the dead. It is one of a few true new age works from the time period.

Hints From the Hornograph: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This intriguing work is fairly obviously inspired in part by Blavatskys early Theosophical writings, and draws allegory between the Bible and then-modern events, prophecying the fall of Britain and the rise of the United States as a world power, establishing a (literal) church in Philadelphia- the actual city of residence of the pseudonymous author. It is richly linguistic (read; dense) and so will mainly be of interest to those who like language, hidden writing, and prophecy. Oddly, the prophecy did actually come true; the United States would, in only a few short decades, become a dominant power with the launch of the great white navy, the rise of art deco and the boom times of industry, and Britain would at the same time begin to fracture. Indeed when the language is dug into fairly deeply, it's surprisingly accurate.

General Update Time!

Alright everyone.

It's time for probably the final update of the year; I have the illustrations for the final two works I will release this year- right now "Hints from the Hornograph" is still in review, already uploaded to Amazon, and after that come "Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters" and "Investigations Into the Superphysical"- but that is just the tip of the iceberg, I am happy to announce!

After having already revised my expected yearly works upward twice, I continued well beyond that already expanded project and began working on works for 2024. Six are already done, a seventh half edited, and several others already awaiting editing having been formatted. All in all it should be pretty easy to get at least twenty works out in 2024- while likely editing ahead for the subsequent year since I am a workaholic. Several of these works will be particularly important; such as "Observations on the Use of Bathing" which is a mid 18th century medical work of historical import for its references to such usages in antiquity.

While I didn't get around to it this year, I am also really going to try and create several more full length compiled works next year, and hopefully get to re-editing and vastly expanding some of my own authored texts.

Onward!
