Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-26 00:00:00 Cathy Mapes doyle has a great voice for historical narrative and approaches the subject from the point of view of a true believer, not a detached academic, which has its pros and cons

Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-17 00:00:00 David Sorensen Look, everything you need to know about Victorian spiritualism is contained in this book. On the other hand, it is a turgid read. No way could I wade through the endless lists of names of those who either did or didn't support the featured mediums. Conan Doyle has been relentlessly thorough. I'm sorry to any spirits who are observing my writing of this, and no disrespect to you (!) but the book was hard-going to put it mildly. The final chapter was the most interesting - what, in the words of those communicating from 'beyond the veil' happens after death. It is fascinating though how spiritualism took off in Europe (and indeed America) during this time and the amount of 'supernatural' phenomena that was apparently witnessed. I can't believe it was ALL bogus.
