Meet Dr. Newton Barlow, a charismatic scientist whose world is about to be turned upside down. Picture Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's "Good Omens" mingled with the wit of Christopher Moore, and you've got "The Unhappy Medium."

Dr. Barlow seemed to have it all: a renowned career in the lab and on TV, a glamorous wife by his side, and an unshakable belief that the supernatural was nothing more than outright lies and wishful thinking. But life has a funny way of humbling even the most self-assured of individuals, and Barlow's reckoning is about to unfold.

Accused of fraud and shunned by the scientific community, Barlow finds himself stripped of his fame, expelled from the family home, and cast out from his once lofty perch. Three despair-filled years pass, drowning his sorrows in wine, until an unexpected glimmer of hope emerges. Dr. Sixsmith, Barlow's equally skeptical mentor, approaches him with an extraordinary proposition and with nothing left to lose, Barlow has little choice but to accept.

There's just one tiny, itsy-bitsy obstacle standing in his way—Sixsmith is dead.

In a desperate bid to save both this world and the next, can Dr. Barlow set aside his cherished beliefs and confront the impossible? Brace yourself for a raucous rollercoaster ride through the realms of life, death, and that peculiar bit in between.

If you're a fan of Douglas Adams' zany humor, Terry Pratchett's fantastical worlds, or the imaginative tales of Tom Holt, Ben Aaronovitch, and Jim Butcher, then "The Unhappy Medium" is an absolute must-read. Bursting with unforgettable characters, a gripping mystery, heart-pounding action, and sidesplitting humor, this book has it all.

If you're ready for a journey that will tickle your funny bone and captivate your imagination, then "The Unhappy Medium" is your ticket to an uproarious good time.

The Unhappy Medium

The Unhappy Medium: A Supernatural Comedy

Think your job is purgatory? Try working for the afterlife.

For former man of science and very unhappy medium, Dr Newton Barlow, the frontline between good and evil is starting to get old. With Purgatory a mess of hopeless bureaucracy, banal amateurism and unreliable excitement, he’s beginning to crave a challenge.

Something big.

Something big duly arrives in the form of a crime so cunning, so utterly diabolical, that Barlow and the bumbling Purgatorians are going to have to find a way around their trademark inefficiency, or lose a lot more than their expense accounts.

But, with his girlfriend pushing for a slice of the paranormal action, his gothic daughter caught in the crossfire with his ex-wife, and an in-tray awash with humiliating ghost chases, the ever-snarky Dr Barlow is spread thinner than roadkill. Headless horsemen, missing links, killer drones and a sinister jester, Tom Fool is another rollicking comedy from the writer of The Unhappy Medium.

A Perfect dark comedy for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Douglas Adams, Christopher Moore and Jim Butcher .

‘A superb sequel!’ 

‘… a Pratchett-like quality to the humor, peppered with engaging facts, and a very interesting premise.’ 

‘Clever, original and hilarious.’ 

‘Absolutely a standout work!’
