Since time immemorial, men have been fascinated by things occult. In this absorbing book, the author has taken pains to explain that the "occult" is merely a collective term for things unknown. This is not an encyclopaedia. And its title suggests, it is a book which contains many articles on the occult - its history, literature and practices. For example "alchemy" and "spiritualism" are given very full treatment; but such ever-popular subjects as ghosts, vampires, hallucinations and illusion are also treated in some detail. other interesting features of the book include definitions of occult terms and careful cross-referencing. This book should appeal to all who are interested in the "unknown" and "paranormal".
