“The Alien Book is certainly comprehensive, presenting a delightful Carnival of the Aliens from Annunaki to Worm Monsters via Flying Humanoids, Black-Eyed Children and things summoned by Aleister Crowley. In its pages can be found all manner of extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials and cryptids. … informative and hugely entertaining.” – Fortean Times “… a sweeping, breathtaking tour de force compilation of alien reports from around the world … enjoy and refrain from reading just before going to bed!” – Alternative Perceptions Magazine “If you are a UFO enthusiast or a UFO hunter or just plain curious, this is the book for you. … An alien resource book like no other. … Bravo!” – The Costarican Times
