Darklore Among Us...

I recently contributed a chapter to a great new venture - Darklore - that is the brainchild of Greg Taylor of the Daily Grail. While my contribution is on the subject of UFOs (specifically so-called Flying Triangles); my research also features in a chapter on Roswell and, for those with an interest in cryptozoology, in a chapter on high-strangeness Bigfoot cases, too.

Here's the Amazon link to the book, and here's what Greg has to say about it:

"The collector's edition of the new Daily Grail anthology, Darklore Volume 1, is now available for purchasing from Amazon US and Amazon UK. Remember, there are only 66 copies of this hardcover collector's edition, so if you want a copy get in fast (I know already of 3 book collectors who have asked for a copy, which probably shows that the value of the collector's edition will only ever increase).

"Considering that purchasing Darklore also helps support future operations of the Daily Grail, and numerous other researchers and writers (such as Robert Schoch, Nick Redfern, Loren Coleman, Michael Prescott, Picknett and Prince and many more), and that the book is a great read to boot, it's a win-win situation for everyone.

"Please note that the shipping time of 4-6 weeks on Amazon.com (1-2 weeks on UK) is likely incorrect - this is due to it being a new book, with no copies in the distributor's warehouse (and therefore not in their computer system). Once the first order is processed by the distributor, this will probably drop to 1 or 2 days.

"Support good research and writing on Daily Grail topics by getting yourself a copy of Darklore Volume 1."

I'd love to have this, but being on SSI/SSDI, and with a massive monthly car insurance payment, an extremely backed-up phone bill, a subscription renewal to 3D World Magazine (cost of which depends on the exchange rate for USD against 56 GBP on any given day), and Norton Antivirus subscription renewal, it's unfortunately a luxury I just can't afford.

That last one is me and your work digging up cases around Cannock Chase was an important part of the piece, showing another example of places where the divisions between UFOlogy and cryptozoology (and other areas beyond) break down - obviously territory you are well placed to help map out.

Emperor: Thanks for the info. I recently received a very interesting Cannock Chase creature sighting; but which clearly took place in a classic "Oz Factor" type situation, rather than just walking through the woods and seeing something. There's something very odd about the Cannock Chase...

Emperor said...

Thanks for the information - the Oz Factor was reported in the case highlighted by Jenny Randles involving a strange cloud (weird clouds being the subject of the next piece I'll be throwing at Greg).

Ignoring some weak reporting, the possibility of some hoaxes, etc. it does seem that, as you say, something weird is going on.

Obviously there are numerous explanations but it has a very similar character to the half a dozen places in the US that I've been calling Hotspots of High Strangeness and it is one of the few that I can think about outside of the States.

So it is certainly worthy of further attention and investigation.
