Some of the works listed are well-known classics of the genre. Great and not-so-great horror movies and fiction are recommended. Special attention should be paid to the appendix. The sidebar describing the Cabal in terms of the pre-CCG Illuminati card game is mildly amusing, though. It's designed primarily as a continuing organization for the Modern Day setting, but it's not particularly compelling. It describes a secret society devoted to protecting magic, psionics, monsters, etc., from the world at large. The Cabal chapter is the weakest part of the book. There is also a chapter on other times and places, and one on a non-specific campaign idea, the Cabal.

Someone once called GURPS "the Encyclopedia Brittanica of roleplaying." This volume is a worthy addition to that concept.
