Weird mysticism? Like what exactly?
I have never read any “Weird mysticism” in his books.
I heard him interviewed and he posits some shadowy predator snatching them,,, possibly from another dimension etc. Weaves in native american mysticism and lore.
He doesn’t just stick to black and white.
I listened at first thinking he would be interesting if he gave a detailed analysis of who goes missing, and where and why. But pretty quickly he goes the route of Amityville Horror in the outdoors.
But guess he keeps the bills paid with it.
He also gets into “proving” bigfoot.
It’s kind of a bummer, he has a very interesting concept except when he spins off into the paranormal. The topic would be extremely useful already in regular reality.
