The boundaries of Lebling s work surpassed my wildest dreams. Lebling has left no stone unturned in his enquiry, roaming through traditional Eastern literature as well as the modern media. The result is a truly extraordinary masterwork, a treasury within itself that can be consulted at random, dipped into as a bedside book, or read from cover to cover in a fabulous feast for the imagination and the enquiring mind.Tahir ShahThis book has inspiration on every page if you’re a paranormal/fantasy author — and even if you’re not. The stories are brilliant, well-researched and chosen. I’ll be re-reading this book and recommending it. –Jenny Schwartz, Goodreads
