THEY WALK BY NIGHT by Michael Hervey
Spooky true ghost stories, collected by author Hervey. More folklore focused than pseudo-psi science, with haunted pubs, black dogs, and THE ENIGMA OF THE PARANORMAL.

THE SUPERNATURAL by Douglas Hill and Pat Williams
Sturdy general primer on THE SUPERNATURAL. Authors Hill and Williams weave an engaging text with just enough luridness for a subject which includes naked black masses, while giving the proper respect to the background histories of indigenous beliefs. The only thing missing is a bibliography.
Signet Books, 1965

BLACK MAGIC, SATANISM & VOODOO by Leo L. Martello
Time capsule of witchery circa 1972. Delves into the divisions between the trio of titular traditions and their intersection with the political liberation movements of the time. Martello delivers some dishy gossip as well, and the obligatory interview with Anton LaVey doing his usual shtick.
