Into the Shadows illuminates many of the history’s darkest corners; from the mysterious disappearance of the Anasazi to the identity of the continent’s pre-Columbian visitors. Taylor wades into hotly contested topics such as the location of the Lost Dutchman Mine, the strange fate of The Marie Celeste, and Harry Houdini’s life before—and after— his death. He asks provocative questions: Did Billy the Kid survive to a ripe old age? Was Jack the Ripper an American? Did Eliot Ness solve the homicide of the Black Dahlia? Was Edgar Allan Poe the culprit in the murder that made him famous?
Some of these cases seem to exist almost beyond the pale. Who but Troy Taylor could explain the Hornet Spook Light of Missouri or the eerie multiple sightings of West Virginia’s themselves? Dead men do tell tales, but it takes someone as skilled as this president of the American Ghost Society to coax out the story of Daniel Douglas Home, a Scotsman who could fly. Whether ferreting out the truth about multiple murders or the flying creature of the Devil’s Lake, Taylor remains open to all possibilities.
Like the very best books, Into the Shadows raises far more intriguing questions than it flatly answers. And like the very best books, it challenges each reader to decide for themselves……
