Praise for The Curse of Oak Island: “Sullivan writes with
open-minded balance, rendering the Oak Island story into a weirdly
fascinating mystery.” —Booklist “The Curse of Oak Island is a
definitive read for fans of the History Channel television show.
Sullivan delves deeper into the history, personalities, and
theories presented only briefly on the show. His approach is mostly
unbiased, though he does tell the reader his thoughts on some of
the theories and the theorists that he thoroughly researches and
debunks. The book is incredibly well researched and the
presentation . . . is very readable. If you’ve watched The Curse of
Oak Island and were frustrated that snippets and possibilities were
left tantalizingly unexplored, this is the book for you.” —Heather
Cover, Homewood Library (Birmingham, Alabama) “Sullivan isn’t
writing about Oak Island the TV show; his subject is Oak Island the
place, largely as seen and imagined by the show’s viewers. So, if
you’ve ever been more entranced by the show’s long trips into
history and theoretical island encounters across history,
Sullivan’s book probably needs to be on your Christmas list.”

Praise for Randall Sullivan: “Compelling . . . No single source
presents so complete or damning a record as LAbyrinth.”
—Entertainment Weekly on LAbyrinth “As a forceful author,
Sullivan does a masterly job of juggling the dense thicket of facts
and navigating the crowded chronology of the case.” —Salon.com
on LAbryinth “Sullivan’s reportage is extraordinary, his
narrative enthralling.” —Rolling Stone on The Price of
Experience “Sullivan’s riveting tale is amazingly detailed and
artfully presented. . . You can hardly turn the page fast enough .
. . Contiporary history, brilliantly written.” —Playboy on The
Price of Experience “[An] engrossing, damning tale . . .
Exhaustively researched, the book methodically weaves a disturbing
story of corruption, intimidation, and murder.” —Boston Globe on
LAbyrinth “Worthy of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sullivan captures the
essence of the world in which Hunt and the BBC
operated.” —Chicago Tribune on The Price of Experience “A
stunning mix of the personal and the historic, interviews and
experiences, with Sullivan incredibly nimble at making the worlds
overlap.” —Booklist (starred review) on The Miracle Detective
“Well-told and expertly researched.” —Publishers Weekly (starred
review) on The Miracle Detective
