Publisher's summary

New Saucerian Press proudly presents John Keel’s The Book of Mothman: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Reality Distortion but Were Afraid to Ask.

The chapters in this Keel-approved collection, culled from New Saucerian’s four recently published Selected Writings of John Keel books (Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind, The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone, Searching for the String, and The Great Phonograph in the Sky) coalesce to create a dazzling, mind-blowing “unified theory” concerning the paraphysical distortions and “glitches” seemingly invading our reality.

Many of the articles in The Book of Mothman were written years before Keel’s Mothman Prophecies, while others were written years afterwards, making it a very unique and valuable source. With the addition of several 1990s lectures and an interview from 2003 - Keel’s last on Mothman - researchers and enthusiasts gain a better sense of just what was going on in West Virginia and the Ohio Valley in the 1960s and ‘70s.

True to form, Keel takes on the endless variety of high strangeness surrounding Mothman and Mothman witnesses, such as UFOs, MIBs, little green men, hairy monsters, giants, animal mutilations, hypnotism, shape-shifting, psychological warfare, missing time, and phantom aircraft, automobiles, and humans.

This special edition features a brilliant introduction by Gray Barker, a recently discovered foreword by John Keel, and a note from the editor, Andy Colvin.

a collection of tales and interviewes

with some theories sprinkled in. I guess it takes 3 of his old books and packs them down here from what I understand. but from the perspective of someone who's never read anything Keel or mothman related this is a really good place to start. Its not all the mothman sighting as he is only 20% of this book but it flows well enough and it's all related. believe it or not but even if 1% of this book is true it's absolutely horrifying. it's lightweight a horror book. had some crazy dreams.. recommended!

Great interview with John Keel

While this book will rehash some things from the Mothman Prophecies, the interview is the piece that is priceless. I love Keel's down to earth perspective. I love that Colvin laid it out as it was.
As Keel said, there is so much we don't know, and we continue to let distractions prevent us from gaining ground. It's time to distance from the distractions and put our time into something meaningful and learn more about nature and the world we live in.

Keel & Ferrand, Always a Treat

Keel's diligent, off-the-beaten-path research is well presented in this absurdly entertaining and essential work of Forteana. As he delves further into the unknown
