About this listen

Meet the ultra-rational Dr Newton Barlow. Cool, cynical, scientific, he’s the last man you’d want to be a bridge between the living and the dead. But with his academic reputation in tatters, and nothing to lose but his few remaining marbles, the great skeptic is about to discover that the past that haunts him will be nothing compared to his ghost-ridden future.

Thrust into a rollicking struggle between good and evil, can Dr Barlow forget everything he ever believed in to save this world...and the next?

Thrilling, chilling, and utterly hilarious, The Unhappy Medium is a bone-dry British comedy in the great tradition of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.

This book is great fun. The writing reminds me of the Dirk Gently books, but without the smug wordplay.
Good plot. Sold performance especially the Derek Nimo impersonation.

Great fun

The narrator had some annoying voices that made it a little too cartoon like. Enjoyed the story though and loved the big machine.

Trotted along nicely

A really well written and humorous paranormal caper. Narrator excellent and really well suited to the text. More similar to Wilkie Collins (the Hobbs series) than Ben Aaronovich’s Rivers of London but will be appreciated by readers of both. At least I did. More please...

Unusually Good
