Can a small, almost mundane detail in accounts of anomalous events—be it encounters with UFO entities, faeries, or Sasquatch—reveal anything valuable about the nature of these unusual events?  Probably not, right? Well, think again. This new book by Joshua Cutchin, A Trojan Feast, is an intellectual romp through some of the strangest material this side of the rabbit hole. In it, Cutchin examines reports of the food and drink offering of aliens, faeries, and Sasquatch, and discovers that all is not what it appears to be. A glance at some chapter titles illustrates the ranges of topics covered: the Sattvic Diet, Sleep Paralysis, Sexuality, Entheogens, Eating the God and Rebirth, and Absorption, Ointment, and the Entity Diet. Noted folklorist Thomas E. Bullard, who wrote the Foreword, says: “The humble subject of food in anomalistic accounts serves, in Cutchin’s measured, learned, and lucid argument, as proof that high strangeness events may be uncertain and discordant, but not incomprehensible.” We think this book is destined to be a fortean classic.
