XF-ULTRA

is now available in paperback,

hardcover, and Kindle!

Here’s the lowdown…


From the co-author of

The Complete X-Files,

comes the deepest dive

on The X-Files, ever.


 


XF-ULTRA is an exhaustive and obsessive guide to the only TV series that really matters, going places no other book dare go. Whether you’re already a hardcore X-Files fan or just a novice, this is the one book you have to read to truly understand what you’re seeing play out on your screen.


First, we start with the basics:


Pre-Season: A behind-the-scenes look at the creation and development of The X-Files.


X-Ancestors: A comprehensive look at the TV shows and movies that influenced The X-Files.


UFO Conspiracy Theories: An introduction to the history of UFOlogy, as well as the parapolitical figures and events that shaped The X-Files’ storylines.


Human Experimentation: An overview of the dark history of medical abuse that lies at the very heart of The X-Files.


Declassified: Deep background on each of the series’ eleven seasons.


Case Dossiers: Detailed reviews covering all the episodes and feature films, packed to the gills with behind-the-scenes information and presented in an accessible, capsulized format.


A Season of Conspiracy: Overviews of the controversial and momentous real-world events that took place during each season of The X-Files.


Then we go DEEP…


The Mytharc for Beginners: A comprehensive primer that breaks down and lays out the X-Files Mythology arc, presented in an accessible format.


Myths Behind the Mytharc: An extensive and comprehensive deep dive into the ancient myths that influenced The X-Files’ Mythology.


The First Toxic Fandom: An insider’s look at how The X-Files inadvertently cultivated unhealthy and abusive online communities.


TV in the Wake of XF: A detailed survey of the TV shows and movies that were influenced by The X-Files.


But wait! There’s more!


“Real-Life X-Files”: A skeptical examination of the UFO disclosure cult and the so-called “real-life X-Files.”


Ancient Abduction: A look at the ancient cults that worshipped mysterious flying objects, even one that devised a way to initiate alien contact!


Millennium: A look at Chris Carter’s revolutionary crime drama.


The Lone Gunmen and 9/11: A hard look at the X-Files’ spinoff and its eerie foreshadowing of one of the darkest days in American history.


PLUS:



  • Deep dives into some of the real-world characters whose lives eerily parallel those we’ve seen on The X-Files.

  • And an absolutely mind-blowing “Ultimate Fan Theory,” that will have every X-Files fan looking at the series in an entirely new light.
