Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

‘The ghosts of today don’t live in castles or stately homes, they’re in normal houses and workplaces, witnessed by people just like you and me. But are they the dead returning from the “undiscovered country” of death, or the product of that equally mysterious location, the human mind?’

Danny Robins is on a mission to try to solve the greatest of all mysteries – do ghosts exist? This thrilling book tells the stories of ordinary people who have experienced extraordinary things and want to understand them. It is also a journey of self-discovery, as Danny explores what the paranormal means to us, and considers the exciting yet terrifying prospect that we are not alone.

From poltergeists and apparitions, to UFOs and strange messages from beyond the grave, Into the Uncanny is a page-turning real-life supernatural adventure. So, are you Team Believer or Team Sceptic – and do you dare to find out?

'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

This book definitely didn’t disappoint, I was actually sorry once it was over! Four really interesting, well-selected cases spread over 300 pages. I didn’t like the final one though, not because it wasn’t good, but because it honestly really creeped me out!......more

Goodreads review by Nicky on September 17, 2023

Great book, it felt exactly the same as the podcasts starting with a case then moving on & circling back. Very much enjoyed it, still not sure if I’m team believer or team sceptic - maybe team not sure 👻......more

Goodreads review by Mark on February 29, 2024

IF you’re not from the UK I'm not sure how much you know about this author. Danny is well-known here in the UK as a British journalist who's created successful podcasts, one of which is named The Uncanny. He's also the writer of 2:22 - A Ghost Story, a very successful West End theatre production abo......more

Goodreads review by Rossi on February 19, 2024

I think I’ve consumed every bit of Danny Robins content out there - from the Uncanny podcast and live tour, to 2:22: A Ghost Story and everything else in between. I am a little bit obsessed (in a nice, admiring way). However, the newest iteration of the Uncanny-verse, sadly was the weakest. Obviously,......more
