A review by nocturnical
The Mothman Prophecies by John A. Keel

adventurous dark medium-paced

3.5

Don't go into this book expecting a cohesive narrative with plot points & character development, it's not that. Keel falls just short of describing a sort of grand theory of the paranormal in this compilation of contactee tales & recollections of his time as a UFO investigator. But he's not a scientist, he's a journalist, & he writes as such & I think it's that clipped, boiled down tone that turns some readers off. I've read this book a few times now & it's a wild ride through fairly commonplace UFO lore. There's a lot of Men in Black content here, a bit about the Mothman, some moonburn syndrome descriptions, & of course a rundown of Derenberger's supposed contact w the extradimensional Indrid Cold. Weird dudes, I had a good time.
