I wanted to discuss Danny’s book. I didn’t want to put it in the Uncanny thread in case people haven’t read it yet. I just finished the audiobook today. As always it was good. But a couple of things annoyed me. When he was going on about teenagers being conduits for poltergeists and then help...

A few years back I had a pretty good library of ghost books but had to sell most of them to make ends meet. I'm hoping that a few projects will bear fruit and I'm looking to possibly start replenishing my stock. However, I'm "out of the loop" and not familiar with more recent titles either. Can...

I keep coming across books that claim to be real ghost stories but the minute you start reading them it’s obvious from the way they are written they aren’t real experiences. Just be honest and say it’s fiction. Has anyone else experienced this?

First time posting here, so my apologies if this is the incorrect forum. In the early 1990s I got a book out of a library in one of my local towns which if I recall accurately was mainly about (but not limited to) encounters with non-human entities such as fairy-type beings, gnomes, etc etc...

We don't have a dedicated Tolkien thread yet, so I'm starting one. Here's a news story I came across five days ago. I don't see the point of releasing another 'new' JRRT book, but I guess Christopher Tolkien wants scholars of his father's work and committed fans to be able to read more of it.
