Just reading this rulebook (it's so much more than a rulebook) fills my head with story and character ideas! I'd love to play this some time. Alas, I haven't gotten it to the table yet.
The author's informal, clever style makes this a pleasure to read, and gives one confidence that this wouldn't be a hard game to run.

Player-facing book for what is for most purposes the definitive edition of the game. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordpress.com/2019/01/15/kickstopper-unknown-armies-3rd-edition/

Once again, a weird and wonderful modern fantasy entry from Atlas Games. I love that the focus is pulled away from physical confrontation and put on psychological tension, instead. Let's face it, violence is rarely the right answer in modern life, and that should be the same in modern fantasy.
Plus, when a punk with a pocket knife if a legitimate danger, it makes gribbly horrors legitimately terrifying. 5/5, would anyone like to play it?

Seems like a cool setting, but I didn't really feel like I understand how to play the game. The explanations of the rules are fairly disorganised, and although I feel like actually starting to play it would clarify a lot of the mechanics, I'm not sure I'd even know where to begin if I were trying to run a game. Obviously this is only the player's rules and book two covers the GM's side of things, but even as a player I don't really get what kind of adventures you're supposed to have or what you actually do.
