"Fortean authors are a rare and vanishing breed. They often write about a wide range of peculiar and arcane subjects, and in 2010 Fortean Words started a series of books anthologising those writers we believe to be the most important Forteans writing today. Each of the authors we chose didn't let us down; the books which they presented us contain a rich and heavy brew and are often not for the faint hearted. But who said anything in life was going to be easy, eh? Enter at your peril, but when you do - - enjoy!" Jonathan Downes, March 2010

A WIZARD'S TALE.... The extraordinary and entertaining inside story of one man's relationship with the mysterious monsters of our ancient waters and other strange phenomena, set against a colourful background of Gaelic folklore, pagan magic, surrealism, international monster-hunting, and psychic backlash. Who is 'Doc' Shiels? Doc is a modern monster-hunter, an author of several books on stage magic, a founder-editor of the surrealist magazine Nnidnid, a poet, playwrite and artist, a Punch and Judy professor, and one time Wizard of the Western world. In 1977 Doc initiated the 'Monstermind' project, organising an international group of psychics and magicians to raise up the denizens of dark lakes around the world. Full of Alice-in-Wonderland coincidences, this is his story: telling how he came to take the best photograph yet of the Loch Ness Monster (right), and snapped Morgawr, the monster of Falmouth Bay. Along the way he crosses the tracks of the Little People, the frightful winged Owlman of Cornwall, giant squids, sky-clad witches, UFOs and the Irish Pooka.
