About this listen

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

Danny Robins has done it again. Following up on his excellent podcasts this brilliantly-written book and fantastically-well narrated audiobook brings to life 4 new cases, interwoven with personal stories, analysis and thought-provoking critique that will keep skeptics and believers alike enthralled.

As with his podcasts, Danny treats the subjects of his investigations, and the people to whom these phenomena have happened, with huge respect and fairness, allowing them to tell their story, weighing the arguments to believe or not, and always wanting to find the reason and truth behind their experiences.

His descriptive prose is as good as any ‘best selling’ author, if anything, making this audiobook even better than the podcasts that preceded it, as Danny’s literary legs have been given the chance to stretch and get into their stride.

Danny’s ability to take the reader (listener) on a journey through facts whilst also bringing to life the people, places and phenomena in a way any fiction author would be proud of, makes this book engaging from start to finish, and at times gripping and scary. And his excellent narration skills mean the audiobook is - for me at least - the most compelling way to consume this superb piece of writing.

Podcast listener or not. Skeptic or believer. Reader or listener. Fiction or non-fiction fan. This book is quite simply a must read or listen for anyone who loves enthralling stories of mystery and life changing experiences.

Buy it. Read it. Listen to it. And don’t have nightmares!

Simply Superb!

I have been an avid listener to all of Danny Robbins’ podcasts and this audiobook did not disappoint. He tells the stories beautifully and sent many shivers up my spine. Going to need you to write another one Danny! I’ll be re listening for sure!

Brilliant!

I’ve always been fascinated by ghosts, and I love Uncanny, so was excited to hear that there was now a book. I’ve not finished listening to it but I know I’ll find the stories interesting. However, Danny performing the text is so distracting and irritating that I’m struggling to keep listening! Please - if there is another volume just read it out. I’ve been listening to audiobooks for 30 years, and I can say quite honestly that this is the most annoying rendition that I have ever heard.

Stories interesting but performance dreadful

Danny Robins knows how to tell a tale, and that’s one of the reasons these stories are so gripping . Fascinating stories of people’s experiences of unexplained experiences of ghosts and the paranormal. Equally interesting whether you’re a believer or a sceptic. Highly recommend
