Books From The Backlog-The Silver Bridge

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf.  You might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. Go to Carole's blog and add your blog post link in to join in the fun! Hosted by Carole at https://carolesrandomlife.blogspot.co.uk/

This seems like a fun feature and I have been planning to take part since Carole launched this so at last, here we go! I have a TON of unread books to choose from in various genres and I'm looking forward to sharing some of them with everybody. 

Written in 1970 by West Virginia Ufologist Gray Barker, The Silver Bridge was the first book ever written on the mysterious Mothman creature, and still one of the best. Barker was the first researcher on the scene of both the Flatwoods Monster and Mothman cases. In The Silver Bridge, Barker explores the murky psychological depths of life in WV during the Mothman era of the late 1960s. 

This book was originally printed in small quantities and hence became very rare, fetching enormous prices. Now, for the first time, it is being made widely available to the general public. Inside, one finds many intriguing details about Mothman that previously escaped attention. This 2008 edition features new introductions by noted paranormal researchers Allen Greenfield, James Moseley, and Andy Colvin.

I've always been interested in myths about things like the Mothman case, and I have all kinds of cryptid related cases on my shelves. I'm also interested in most kinds of disasters so the actual Silver Bridge disaster interests me as well. I finally managed to get a copy of this book in October 2018 and I really want to read it.
