Occurrence: Dancing with Tricksters—The Very Strange Story of William F. Blume unfolds like a spellbinding journey into the heart of the unknown—one where UFOs, non-human intelligence, and the delicate dance between science and the mystic merge with raw, human experience. William F. Blume, writing under a pseudonym, opens the door to a labyrinth of encounters that are as much about the soul's evolution as they are about the inexplicable phenomena he's faced.

From the start, you're pulled into the quiet storm of Blume's world. There's no shield—only his raw honesty laid bare. The preface sets the tone: deeply personal, yet echoing with a resonance that touches something universal. His prose cuts between the lines, fragmented like the memories they describe, yet somehow whole. You hear the echoes of Cormac McCarthy, David Foster Wallace, and even Don DeLillo in snippets of his style—thoughts drifting, spiraling inward, yet always circling back to ground you in the unsettling reality of his experiences.

Each chapter—each Occurrence—peels back another layer. The Airship, Mom Irons Things Out, The Light in the Trees—they feel familiar at first, like childhood recollections half-remembered. And yet, there's a shimmer just beneath the surface, something not quite right but too subtle to pinpoint. Blume weaves the ordinary with the otherworldly in a way that dares you to look closer, to find the threads he's left hidden. And they're there—if you care to follow them.

But it's not easy. Blume doesn't hand out answers. He trusts you, the reader, to meet him halfway, to wrestle with the complexity of it all. He leaves just enough unsaid, a puzzle for you to piece together, which mirrors the very phenomena itself—close enough to glimpse but never within reach. This is where the book earns its keep, challenging you not just to think but to feel the uncertainty, the ambiguity, the disquiet strangeness of it all.

And yet, beyond the eerie encounters, this is a story about meaning—about finding your place in a universe that doesn't always make sense. Blume wrestles with it, too, from Gnostic musings to reincarnation, threading these ideas through the lens of his life. You see it in the arcane symbols he describes and the philosophical tangents he explores, inviting you to ponder what lies beyond the thin veil we claim as reality.

It's not a book for the faint-hearted. It pulls you out of your comfort zone and forces you to confront the unknown head-on. But that's the beauty of it. It doesn't try to resolve these mysteries; it simply reflects them. And in that reflection, there's something deeply authentic, even comforting, in the way Blume reveals his doubts, fears, and the very common human desire to try and understand.

By the time you reach the closing remarks, you'll feel the weight of the journey. Blume's contemplation of his experiences—and the potential ripples they cast on our collective understanding—leaves a mark. It's a moment of pause, where the esoteric meets the personal, as he calls for a deeper connection with both the Divine and as well the cosmos. It's a fitting end to a memoir that dares to delve into the wild frontier of existence—Dancing with Tricksters who perhaps shape it all.

And yet, this isn't the end. The journey continues with Blume's next companion volume, Occurrence: Hunting Dragons, which promises to plunge even deeper into the unknown—And for those who have tasted the mysteries within these pages, the next chapter can't come soon enough.
