Indefatigable author, researcher and thinker Brad Steiger takes host Dan Schneider beyond his usual philosophic materialism subject matter to explore the far reaches of the human experience. This penetrating interview, in text format, gives an excellent and insightful view of the many areas of high strangeness that find their way to The Anomalist every day. What does the bestselling author have to say about his own philosophy regarding "life, science and the cosmos?" |
New
Release From Brad Steiger
"If the highest
compliment any book can receive is that it continues to
influence both readers and authors long after its release,
then Atlantis Rising merits such an accolade. First
published in 1973, it not only reignited public interest in
a virtually moribund subject, but perpetuated popular
fascination for the lost civilization, an engrossment that
continues to expand on an international scale thirty-four
years later...Atlantis Rising still holds up...because it is
among the best written volumes in that vast library of
Atlantology, with its estimated 2500 books." From the
Foreword by Frank Joseph, author of Atlantis in Wisconsin
and other books on Atlantis. "Atlantis Rising is a
landmark book in the study of lost civilizations and alien
contact. It was the very first work to suggest that ancient
peoples were visited by extraterrestrial beings in
spacecraft who helped shape an antediluvian global culture.
The historical impact of Atlantis Rising has been grossly
underrated and all subsequent studies in this area like
Chariots of the Gods?, When the Sky Fell and From Atlantis
to the Sphinx are merely "Johnny come Latelies" compared to
Brad Steiger's pioneering and seminal book." William H. Kennedy,
Sphinx Radio host, author of The Da Vinci Code
Cabal. The Journal of
Hispanic Ufology Inexplicata gives this
book five stars (* * * * *) About thirty years
ago, a schoolboy walked into a local bookstore and noticed a
misplaced book: a paperback with a Frank Frazetta cover had
been inadvertently placed in the science fiction section
when it should have been in the esoterica aisle (as it was
called back then). Intrigued, he leafed through it and found
himself spending at least half an hour reading at the store,
too irresistible to put down. After buying it, he continued
perusing its contents on the bus back home; the next day,
the book accompanied him to school, where he read it during
class time, keeping it from the watchful, restless eyes of
Sister Lewis Marie. The book with the
Frazetta cover was called Atlantis Rising, its author was
Brad Steiger, and the inquisitive schoolboy was
me. Atlantis was always a
name to charm anyone with an interest in antiquity, real or
legendary. Comic books like Korg: 70,000 BC pitted cavemen
against red-tunicked Atlanteans with high technology, Robert
E. Howard’s Conan The Barbarian was set in the
centuries after the fall of Atlantis. Movies about Atlantis
and its lethal death rays filled the afternoon hours:
Captain Nemo found Atlantis; James Bond destroyed it in The
Spy Who Loved Me. In the 19th century, supporters of the
lost continent rioted in the streets for love of their
idealized paradise. But all of these references were clearly
framed in the realm of fiction. Atlantis Rising was the
first book in paperback form to reach an audience who knew
about Atlantis, but not nearly enough. A book that reach
deep into the bag of mystery to give its readers a feel for
the multiple and marvelous theories regarding the lost
continent in what we tentatively refer to as the “real
world”. It took Brad
Steiger’s gift of making the arcane accessible to the
unspecialized reader, supporting his texts with facts,
figures and dates, to make the drowned continent emerge from
its watery grave on paper. A reader who might have heard of
Ignatius Donnelly’s Atlantis: The Antediluvian World
was now treated to the prophecies of Edgar Cayce, the
underwater research of Dr. Manson Valentine, the possibility
of Atlantis still surviving in our day and age as an
undersea civilization responsible for UFO phenomena, and the
possibility that certain mystics among us were in touch
– through what later became known as
“channeling” – with entities from the lost
continent. No longer was Atlantis confined to the
sword-and-sandal world of Harryhausen’s Atlantis: The
Lost Continent (and its convincing ray gun) but a place, or
at least a concept, approached by these multiple
theories. Particularly stunning
was a chapter whose title still carries a distinctive ring
in later years – “An Inner Earth Empire of Masters
and Monsters.” It is quite possible that to many
readers, this was their first taste of the writings of
Richard Shaver and theories involving the Elder Race and
their descendants: the Apollonian Teros and the insanely
Dionysian Deros, misguidedly using the “mech” of
the Elder Race to cause mayhem among surface dwellers and
further debase themselves. No concept or image could be
further from the concept of a pseudo-Grecian Atlantis whose
towers, brave warriors and fair ladies slipped into the
drink after a storm that forever changed the world and made
the Atlantic Ocean supposedly unnavigable for
generations. It’s difficult to
render an objective opinion on a work that has meant so much
to so many over the past three decades, and is now available
to a whole new readership thanks to Galde Press. My own
reading of Atlantis Rising was set against the background of
Puerto Rico’s nearly constant UFO activity in the 1970s
and the belief that the island was one of the remnants of
the lost continent, a notion bolstered by the presence of
the enigmatic mountain rainforest of El Yunque and the
affirmations of many sensitives and mystics of its
affiliation to the sunken continent. Human disappearances at
this site, and the reports of impish beings, could easily
feed into a belief of Dero mischief. The contemporary reader
will be treated to theories and cases that go beyond the
routine paranormal fare of ghosts and Roswell, and those who
read it in the past may find themselves remembering concepts
that faded from memory over the years under the weight of
new information and insights. The bottom line: if
you are a student of the paranormal, read Atlantis Rising.
If you are interested in the possibility of a pre-human
civilization whose legacy surrounds us in the shape of
inexplicable works of architecture and strange artifacts,
read Atlantis Rising. If you are an enthusiast of the
Atlantis of fiction, expand your horizons by reading this
book and you may never think about comics, movies or
boardgames the same way again. I can only hope that thirty
years from now, some other young person sets aside whatever
electronic entertainment the future has in store for them
and comes across a copy of this seminal work. Read it and be
enlightened! -- Scott Corrales,

. . . "Strange Guests will
force you to completely rethink the poltergeist phenomenon.
Brad Steiger explores both legendary and obscure ghost cases
from around the world as only he can. His gripping narrative
style takes readers inside the haunts and explores the
poltergeist activity from the perspective of the witnesses
who (mostly) lived through it. Throughout the history of
paranormal research, there are very few who can match the
credibility and reputation of Brad Steiger."
– Jeff
Belanger, Founder of Ghostvillage.com and author of The
World's Most Haunted Places “Brad Steiger is
the master storyteller extraordinaire when it comes to true
tales of the supernatural and of unexplained occurrences.
This prolific and highly acclaimed author truly has no real
equal in this branch of the literary field. Strange Guests
is a genuine early Steiger classic about legendary
poltergiest cases like the Bell Witch, Slawensick Castle and
many other haunting tales that should definitely send
innumerable chills and shivers up and down your
spine!” –
Brent Raynes, Editor of Alternate Perceptions and
author of Visitors From Hidden Realms "Steiger has made a
judicious selection...his style of reporting is fresh...This
is a valuable collection of poltergeist reports, well
written and informative."
– David
Techter "As opposed to a
rehash of old stories and newspaper accounts, Brad Steiger's
classic work Monsters Among Us is unique for containing his
remarkable interviews of eyewitnesses to the
cryptozoological and related phenomena. This book contains
material you will not find anywhere else. My favorite is
Steiger's Momo back story, which is the best I've ever
encountered on the topic. This is a worthwhile and readable
book, useful as a reference book or a fun exploration of the
subject."- Loren Coleman, cryptozoologist and author of
Mysterious America, The Field Guide to Bigfoot, Mothman and
Other Curious Encounters, Bigfoot!, and 23 other
books. Let
Sherry take you Face to Face with
the
Unknown From KLIATT, a
bi-monthly magazine written by teachers and librarians for
teachers and librarians: Ranging from simply
odd to strange, mysterious, and downright spooky, these
tales of the unknown are sure to please YA readers. Stories
go from the boy who absorbed knowledge by sleeping on his
books (and didn't we all wish for this one!) to tales of
angelic interventions, UFOs and ghosts. These stories are
claimed to be real-life occurrences. And they all happened
to young people. Some readers may be skeptical; however, YAs
sometimes practically gorge themselves on tales of the
otherworldly. These stories are short and easy to read.
While they go places logical people may not be comfortable
with, the stories are never gross or gory and are tastefully
handled. KLIATT Codes: JS—Recommended for junior and
senior high school students. 2000, Tor, 244p. bibliog.

A long,
insightful article by Brad Steiger: "It has been fascinating
for someone such as myself, who has been researching the
subject of UFOs for over five decades, to see how greatly
the field of UFO research has been complicated and confused
by popular culture, specifically by motion pictures and,
more recently, television." Now
