Book Reviews of The Encyclopedia of Ghosts and Spirits
Book Review: Well-researched compendium on the supernatural
Summary: 5 Stars
I have many of Rosemary Ellen Guiley's encyclopedias and they are all well-researched and presented in a reader-friendly manner. This particular encyclopedia focuses on ghosts, spirits, and other paranormal phenomena. The encyclopedia is packed with information about the spirit world with more than 600 entries and over 140 illustrations. Among the topics covered here are spirits in various cultural mythologies, apparitions, mediums and mediumship, seances, after-death communication, poltergeists, biographical sketches of famous paranormal researchers and those who are active in paranormal investigative work, necromancy, sights of famous hauntings, etc.
This compendium on ghosts and spirits is truly quite a comprehensive exploration of the subject. Though the entries themselves are not explored in-depth, the coverage is sufficient in introducing the subject and providing insights on the topic with suggested titles for further reading. It is the inclusion of this select bibliography and a handy index for cross-referencing which makes this work all the more significant and useful for writers/researchers and those who would like to further their knowledge of the subject. Recommended!
