Will Storr has done some seriously bizarre and otherworldly things over the course of his career as a journalist. But even spending an entire day with Ozzy Osbourne wasn't as frightening as when he agreed to follow Philadelphia "demonologist" Lou Gentile on his appointed rounds. Will Storr never believed in ghostsbut his healthy skepticism couldn't explain the strange lights and sounds he witnessed, and the weird behavior of the occupants of several allegedly haunted houses.
What resulted is a confirmed cynic's (and proud of it!) dedicated search for answers in a shadowy world of sÉances, mediums, devil worshipperseven the Vatican's chief exorcist. So get ready to confront the genuinely creepy along with the hilariously ridiculous in Will Storr vs. the Supernatural!

“Storr’s intriguing stories will have you spellbound.”
“Storr’s adventures will truly surprise even the most hard-nosed agnostics...Read this one in a well-lit room.”
“Somehow Storr manages to be very funny one minute and seriously scary the next.”
“Part Scooby-Doo, part The Exorcist, this is book a very amusing way to scare yourself stupid.”
“No writer has a better way with the supernatural than Will Storr.”
