⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Review of Outskirts Press by John Russell, author of “The Can Sack Ghost”

“Go with Outskirts Press! This is my fourth book I’ve published with Outskirts Press. The publishing process is relatively simple and easy, and my books are available in months, not a year or more as with traditional publishing options. The quality of the books—including print, pages, covers, etc.—is outstanding. I’ve had many compliments on the cover designs of my books, and in regard to the overall quality. Outskirts distribution of my books gets me into all major platforms for book sales and ensures that my books are available worldwide, and indeed I’ve enjoyed sales to readers in many countries.”

John Russell is a member of The Authors Guild and the Academy of American Poets. He has authored four multi-award-winning nonfiction books on the paranormal: Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead; A Knock in the Attic; 20 Ways to Increase Your Psychic Abilities, which was the #1 best seller on Amazon in Ghosts & Hauntings and hit the Top 100 Bestselling Books at Barnes & Noble; and The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock. In addition, his books have received endorsements from world-famous psychic Uri Geller; Phyllis Galde, publisher of FATE Magazine; Mike Ricksecker, author-researcher-filmmaker, and many others. John is also an internationally known psychic and paranormal investigator who was filmed for a TV pilot for The History Channel and has been a featured guest for 18 years on multiple radio and podcast interviews. And a snake once saved him from a beatdown.

“Open the pages of The Can Sack Ghost and step into the marvelous and mysterious world revealed through the eyes of John Russell. The Can Sack Ghost, John’s fifth book, is equal parts paranormal memoir and cosmic philosophy. John is a natural storyteller, and his stories are as entertaining as any you’d hear around a campfire on a dark summer night. Yet what makes these stories special is that John looks for the deeper meaning behind his psychic encounters. He raises questions on dozens of topics, from the true meaning of skepticism to the spiritual implications of AI.” – Martha C. Lawrence, author of Murder in Scorpio

“John Russell stands as a distinctive voice in the realm of paranormal literature, crafting narratives that transcend the ordinary and delve into the mystic aspects of the psychic and paranormal realms. With an illustrious career that merges real-world psychic experiences with rich storytelling, Russell’s works are a treasure trove for enthusiasts of the uncanny and the supernatural.” – As seen on New York Weekly

“John’s books provide a unique perspective on the psychic and paranormal realms. Fans of true ghost stories will be entertained by accounts ranging from UFO encounters to Guardian Angel guidance that proved to be lifesaving.” – George Noory, Host: Coast to Coast AM
