TREND #1: COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEAD
This topic showed major growth in 2001, led by the success of John Edward. While ghosts and near-death experiences still were popular, it was specifically the living communicating with the dead that caught the book-buyer's interest. The old term for people who spoke for the dead was "medium" (since they were acting as a medium of communication), a contemporary one is "channel" (although channelers very often purport to represent non-humans). Perhaps thanatotranslators (from the Greek thanatos for death and translator) would be appropriate.
CROSSING OVER (hardback)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1588720020/bufosweirdworld
by John Edward
Released August 2001
This book, a tie-in to the author's show on THE SCI-FI CHANNEL (and syndicated), became the best-selling "new age" title at Amazon released in 2001. Anyone who hasn't seen the show might be surprised by its tone. This is not an in-the-dark seance with a some mysterious, exotic personality in a trance. John Edward is very modern: in fact, many of his readings are informed by popular culture. Rather than try to smooth talk people, he appears to get frustrated with them if they don't recognize what he is telling them. The premise is that he receives communications from people who have "crossed over", and that they try to prove to the living that the afterlife exists to show that they are okay. To do this, they reference quirky little details, like the name of a dog, or a specific meaningful item, such as a ceramic shoe. Edward is so often so specifically accurate, that the only reasonable way for it to be not real is if he is working with confederates or is given the information secretly ahead of time. While this book is not the careful work of his previous bestseller, ONE LAST TIME (paperback) (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0425166929/bufosweirdworld), fans of the show will enjoy it.

Trend#2: IN MY BACKYARD (WEIRD GEO-GUIDES)
MYSTERIOUS AMERICA REVISED EDITION (paperback)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1931044058/bufosweirdworld
by Loren Coleman
Released January 2001
Greatly revised new edition of a 1983 classic, this is much more than just a tour of spooky places. Coleman both investigates and looks at the overall picture, a rare combination. A great Fortean (one who is inspired by early 20th century writer Charles Fort) is, in a sense, like the schizophrenic math genius John Nash portrayed in A BEAUTIFUL MIND. They see patterns where no one else does, recognizing new mysteries to which later writers can add examples. This book introduced us (or brought attention) to kidnapping clowns, phantom kangaroos, and erratic crocodilians. While I did miss the illustrations from the original release, the new material (including giant catfish and the Minnesota Iceman) more than made up for it. The "seed catalog" style lists in the back of the book are exemplary, and Coleman's taken heat for his willingness to hypothesize. Being accurate while not losing his sense of fun makes Coleman one of the most popular Forteans writing today.

The Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters : A Definitive, Illustrated A-Z Guide to All Things Alien
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0451204247/bufosweirdworld
by Ronald Story
This edition released September 2001
This is an update of one of the great UFO reference works, originally released in 1980. While still significant, there are some interesting factors in this version. First, just the name of it shows a shift away from objectivity: from UFO to Extraterrestrial. Secondly, while there is a welcome amount of new material, there are some researchers notable by their absence. The first edition was remarkably inclusive. It will take a thorough reading to see if this one is more skewed by Mr. Story's own opinions. Still, it is a definite must-have for any library.
