One of the Strangest UFO Books Ever Written
November 4, 2009
It “must be one of the strangest UFO books ever written,” says Bob Girard of Arcturus Books. Or painted. He’s referring, of course, to Love in an Alien Purgatory: The Life and Fantastic Art of David Huggins, which contains a well-written text by Farah Yurdozu about David’s bizarre sexual contacts with the ETs, or whoever they are, and more than 80 of David’s paintings in full color that illustrate his contact experiences. A review of the book has also appeared at at UFO Mystic: “After a fine introduction from Farah that firmly sets the scene, that relates the history of Huggins’ experiences, and that allows us to understand what it is that drives and motivates the man himself, we see his story unfold before our eyes via a large body of very skilled artwork,” writes Nick Redfern, who calls the book “as intriguing and thought-provoking as it is unique and alternative.” And James Moseley of Saucer Smear, who “introduced” us to David Huggins and knows him well, had this to say after reading the book: “Interesting is the fact that, though most ‘experiencers’ have a specific spiritual, religious, or political agenda to push on you, David does not. He seems to live a normal life…He doesn’t claim to be a guru…Does David really believe all this, or is he putting us on for some reason? Our answer: He is absolutely sincere, but of course with no proof whatever…There are only two possibilities: Either David’s experiences are solely the product of his own imagination (i.e. they are purely ‘internal’), or they are caused by an outside source (i.e. an outside intelligence of some sort, apparently beyond our present understanding). We vote for the latter…David Huggins is a kind gentle sort of a man and good friend… [He] deserves to be taken seriously. Buy the damn book!” Then there’s UFO activist Larry W. Bryant who sums up his feelings on the book in two short words: “Huggins Rocks!”
