When an X-Files fan opens up bestselling author Paul Terry's volume, they are gaining access--for the first time--to Agents Mulder and Scully's notes, records, and visual evidence from actual X-File reports.

Designed to mimic a collection of FBI case files and packed with such items as autopsy reports, mug shots, lab results, handwritten notes, newspaper clippings, pages ripped from antique books on the occult, and security camera printouts, this fully authorized book is the only one of its kind.

Detailing the agents' investigations into 50 cases of cryptids, biological anomalies, and parapsychic phenomena--from the Flukeman to The Great Mutato to Pusher--The X-Files: The Official Archives showcases some of the show's greatest villains (some dastardly, some just misunderstood) and instructs future agents on how to successfully investigate the paranormal.

"An amazing creation . . . The amount of detail in this book is phenomenal. What [it's] effectively done here is made the world of The X-Files even more real. It's what I would call pretty much a masterpiece." --The Cryptid Factor
