Amazon.com Review
In a worthy companion to volume one, Jane Goldman delivers even more of the real-world inspirations for the most popular episodes of The X-Files. Goldman delves into reports of lake monsters, vampires, and of course, alien abduction and conspiracy theories. The one limitation of The X-Files Book of the Unexplained series is the broad scope, which limits Goldman's exploration to appetizing glimpses of the stranger side of life. However, she offers ample bibliographic references for readers who want to sink their teeth into the main course. --Brian Patterson
