Great book for anyone interested in the world of the unxplained. Has lots of cool stories and pictures. Highly recommended for fans of the X Files.

I was always a fan of the X Files at the time but didn't get round to reading this book until just recently. I thought it was probably just an extended plug for the tv show but as it turns out this is a thoughtful, thoroughly researched, and well written 'rough guide' to the X Files Season 1 and to anomalous phenomena in general. There aren't exhaustive walkthroughs of any of the episodes, rather Jane Goldman has written a series of articles trying to get at the truth (if any) behind the subjects covered in Seasons 1 of the show. I'm a regular subscriber to Fortean Times magazine and was pleased to see that Goldman consulted FT stalwarts like Loren Coleman and Peter Brookesmith to get a rounded view on some of the subjects touched on in the X Files. A multitude of subjects are covered, from hoary old staples like telepathy and ESP to slightly more exotic areas like shapeshifting. As in the show itself, there's far too much about UFOs in this book. But this is a minor quibble really. Jane Goldman's obvious enthusiasm and fascination with the weirdness she describes is highly contagious, and I heartily recommend this book to seasoned investigators and newbies alike. Make sure you get a copy of Volume 2 as well!Read full review
