by Loren Coleman, Author, Mysterious America, The Copycat Effect, and other books.
In terms of the best broadbased, general, fortean, twilight language, synchromystic books published or reprinted last year, this list encompasses my top picks for 2009:
1. Outbreak! The Encyclopedia of Extraordinary Social Behavior by Hilary Evans And Robert E. Bartholomew.
The #1 Fortean book for 2009, hands down, has to be Outbreak! The Encyclopedia of Extraordinary Social Behavior. It is a massive, well-researched tome, being a large format paperbound book (8" by 11"), with a total of 765 pages of about 340 entries. The authors are the scholars Hilary Evans, a social historian, and Robert Bartholomew, a sociologist and specialist in collective behavior.
