There are a lot of places you can find an occult author\u2019s work: websites, magazines, in person or online lectures, etc. Perhaps why I\u2019ve noticed an increase in essay collections in the category, and I am not complaining. Today we\u2019re discussing \u201cUncertain Places: Essays on Occult & Experiences\u201d by Mitch Horowitz.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Horowitz is well known in occult circles and having all these assorted writings conveniently gathered is an excellent read. \u201cUncertain Places\u201d offers a unique perspective on many subjects ranging from secret societies, the nature of Satanism, a legendary obituary for the late James Randi, an interview with David Lynch, new thought, and more. Horowitz is an eloquent and persuasive writer and you can\u2019t help finishing \u201cUncertain Places\u201d with a deeper understanding of the author himself. However, what I find appealing about even his strongest opinion essays is the feeling that you wouldn\u2019t be harshly judged by Horowitz for disagreeing, as long as you could explain why. <\/p>\n

The necessity of reading \u201cUncertain Places\u201d depends on who you are and what you want to get from Horowitz. If you\u2019re a fan of the author, like myself, this is required reading. If you like shorter, easier to digest, essays on these topics, then again, it is required reading. But, if you\u2019re more interested in Horowitz, the new thought explorer, this book is good, but if you haven\u2019t read \u201cThe Miracle Club\u201d, I\u2019d start there. Want more occult secret societies? Definitely opt for \u201cOccult America.\u201d<\/p>\n

I guess the real takeaway from my review of \u201cUncertain Places\u201d that Mitch Horowitz himself is required reading, regardless of which book of his you opt to read.<\/p>\n
