The reviews are in for Otherworldly Affaires: Haunted Lovers, Phantom Spouses, and Sexual Molesters from the Shadow World, and they’ve got us grinning from ear to ear. Linda Godfrey, the author of many books, including Hunting the American Werewolf, had this to say about our latest Brad Steiger reprint: “Although the Bible says that in the afterlife, people do not marry nor are they given in marriage, Brad Steiger’s Otherworldly Affaires shows that they may still be thinking about marriage, sex, and past relationships. And acting upon those thoughts. Or at least, it appears that something from the other side is doing so. How else to explain the many true tales of bereaved men and women haunted by former lovers…not to mention oddities such as a woman impregnated by a departed husband or a glowing image of the Virgin Mary sent to protect a young girl’s innocence? It’s a peek into an area of phantom lore not examined in most ghost collections, accompanied where appropriate by Steiger’s level-headed, psychology-based explanations.”

Brad Steiger’s second volume of tales from the Shadow World (the first was Shadow World: True Encounters with Beings from the Darkside) also drew praise from Joshua P. Warren, the author of How To Hunt Ghosts: “Brad Steiger’s Otherworldly Affaires is a controversial tome, instantly engaging. His seasoned storytelling gripped me from page one. I know how difficult it is to probe this subject, and Steiger has produced another classic. It’s truly incomparable, delving into love and sex on all dimensions, including with visitors from space. But be warned: some of the descriptions were graphic, and even disturbing. It’s by far the best book on this subject I have ever seen or read.”

Finally, we have more than a few good words from Micah A. Hanks of The Gralien Report: “Have you ever been married to a ghost? Have you ever parented a ‘spirit child’? Or perhaps you’ve been visited in the dark of night by some strange presence—with whom shortly thereafter you may have found yourself in the throes of passion! Time and time again, average folks in their day-to-day lives have described such strange phenomenon, and it certainly doesn’t always involve favorable circumstances; several individuals have even claimed to have been accosted by ‘spirit molesters’ from the Shadow World. To date, no collection of such accounts better presents the argument that the powers of love and sexual desire can—and do—extend beyond the physical realm than Brad Steiger’s latest work, Otherworldly Affaires… reading this book will change one’s perspectives of love, sex, marriage, the afterlife, as well as the notion of spirit and ghostly activity. But above all, it is also a damned good read…”

And to top it all off, Otherworldly Affaires has just placed first in Haunted America Tours’ list of “The Ten Most Haunted Paranormal Books of 2008.” Thank you!

By the way, Brad Steiger will be discussing the book on “Coast to Coast”, Saturday night Oct. 25, 2008, and on “Rense,” Friday, October 31, 2008. But if you miss those two appearance, don’t worry – he’ll be making many more radio appearances during the months of November and December.
