The Devils of Loudun by Aldous Huxley
dark
informative
mysterious
reflective
slow-paced
Main takeaways: 1) Humans are programmed to seek transcendence of self, 2) They will distort reality for this, 3) Deviant psychology can account for supernatural appearances. Huxley is limited by the psychology available in his era, which coincides with belief in hysteria, PK/ESP, and the like.
