Critic reviews

Mike Clelland has clearly been holding out on us in waiting until now to produce his first—spectacular—work of fiction. The Unseen is riveting from beginning to end. Gripping storytelling, emotional nuance, and metaphysical mystery sweep the reader away on a tide of synchronicity, intuition, and high strangeness. Clelland masterfully paints the core emotional reality of being an experiencer: the rawness, the vulnerability, and the ever-ambiguous connection to truth. This is a work of fiction that could only be written by someone who deeply knows the reality of the phenomena. It’s destined to be a classic. —Sharon Hewitt Rawlette, PhD, Author of The Source and Significance of Coincidences

Mike Clelland’s new fiction book Unseen is a whole mood. There is a story beneath the story here, filled with longing and mystery and the hope of profound connection. It all remains tantalizingly beyond reach, leaving behind a strange sensation that’s somehow both familiar and foreign. This book is unsettling and sad, beautiful and redemptive. It has stayed with me. —Robin Lassiter, author of Earth: A Love Story

When one reads this book, a startling possibility emerges: that unexplained phenomena eagerly find refuge in the margins of fiction, where their existence is suspended between fact and fantasy. The Unseen may be from Mike Clelland’s head, but it isn’t in his head. It is a lived reality that every experiencer and student of the paranormal will find as authentic as any true tale. —Joshua Cutchin, author of The Ecology of Souls

Love this book!

This book truly transported me. Well written, gripping and mesmerizing. This book is delicious! Filled with beautiful descriptions, landscapes, symbolism, and complex questions. Love it!!

Best book yet!

A refreshingly original story that kept you guessing what could possibly happen next! I loved how Mike wove all the syncronicities together from other stories into a wonderfully engaging tale.

A riveting story

it's not the novel you think you're in - and in the best ways. strong recommend.

Amazing conclusion - D R E A M S

Overly Descriptive canyon land (for three chapters) stalls out the narrative flow.
Excessive use of I said, she said dialogue.

Otherwise I highly recommend this audiobook

Outstanding AF story

The barred owl freaked me out since I have a nesting pair in my backyard…

This book held a certain synchronicity for me with the owls.

Outstanding paranormal thriller

Well written, well read, intriguing, thoughtful and uncannily synchronous with things unfolding in my own life.
