Unexplained phenomena & the paranormal; TV tie-in humour

The debut book from the leading light of the 'new paranormal', Danny Robins - now in paperback

'A wonderfully entertaining ride' - Mark Gatiss, co-creator of Sherlock

'A brilliant book, engaging and filmic' - Reece Shearsmith, co-creator of Inside No. 9

'Scarily good!' - Danny Wallace, author of Yes Man

Do you believe? We live in an age well attuned to the incendiary power of words, but there's one word that has more power to divide than most - 'ghost'. In our jaded been-there, done-that, unshockable world, the statement 'I have seen a ghost' still has the power to silence a room and forever change the way you see someone, or how people see you. If you're a sceptic, how would you react to your partner claiming the house is haunted? If you're a believer, how would it feel to be told by someone you love that the ghost you saw doesn't exist?

In Into the Uncanny- A Paranormal Casebook, renowned writer and broadcaster, and creator of the hit BBC podcast Uncanny, Danny Robins, explores new and exclusive paranormal stories and seeks to explore his own personal journey into the uncanny and his fascination with all things supernatural.

DANNY ROBINS is an award-winning British writer, broadcaster and journalist. He created the hit BBC podcasts The Battersea Poltergeist, Uncanny and The Witch Farm, and the Olivier Award-nominated West End play 2-22 - A Ghost Story, which is now playing in countries around the world. He has created and written various shows for TV and radio, including the BAFTA-nominated series Young Dracula for BBC1. The TV series of Uncanny will be broadcast on BBC 2 later this year. Most impressively though, he came second in the UK Air Guitar Championship (he was robbed) and he bizarrely once had a Number 11 hit single by accident. Ask him about it when you see him.
