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. As the 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 illusions 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 the 'paranormal'.
