Customer Reviews of The Mothman Prophecies
A creepy work of fiction It is worth noting that Keel wrote about Mothman just a few years before this book came out. A chapter in "The Complete Guide To Mysterious Beings" (1970) is devoted to the Point Pleasant phenomena. While Keel describes the various interviews he conducted with witnesses, at this point he doesn't involve himself in the story at all. He never indicates that he experienced any of these things himself. It was only later that he apparently had the idea of crafting a Mothman story with himself as the central character.
Even more notable, in "Mysterious Beings," Keel draws no connections between Mothman and the bridge collapse. In fact, he specifically says, "It is completely erroneous to blame the collapse of the rickety old Silver Bridge on flying saucers or 'Men In Black.'"
This represents direct evidence (something Keel never seems to have) that we are simply not dealing with a researcher or a journalist, as Keel so often claims to be. He is a clever storyteller. Nothing more. I know the stories seem much more exciting when you think they're true, and in the middle of the night, even I get creeped out thinking about Mothman. But the story is flimsy and transparent when held up to the light of day.
I loved the movie though!
THIS BOOK IS WHOOPING A HORSES BEHIND
Well for one thing, the book is pretty freakin' freaky. Aside from the fact that Keel often goes off on crazy tangents about how he thinks the world works, the book is pretty good. I'm not sure if all of this actually happened, but if it did then I'm sold!
Great book about a strange entity
This is a gripping book about the strange "mothman" encounters in West Virginia in the 1960s. If you have any interest in the paranormal you should definitely give this book a try. It is great entertainment, even if you're one of those skeptics who don't believe a word the author is saying. I wish the plot of the movie had been closer to the book.
