Area-x Quote by Jeff VanderMeer
““There had even been an informal group – the Séance & Science Brigade – dedicated to applying ‘empirical reality to paranormal phenomenon.’ … It was the S&SB that had in effect named Area X, identifying that coast as ‘of particular interest’ and calling it ‘Active Site X’ – a name prominent on their science-inspired tarot cards.””
