The Paranormalist Rides In!
The writing began as a true story… and then refused to be bound by convention.
In the 1960s, an undiagnosed bipolar boy was sent to a strict military boarding school. Brutal, unreal, and unforgiving. Think Lindsay Anderson’s film ‘If…’ —but stripped of irony, and with the surreal factor turned up to eleven.
What followed was not a neat redemption arc. It was a collision with ufology, the paranormal, and the strange, shifting cultural undercurrents of the United Kingdom in the 1970s – eventually leading that once brutalised boy to become one of the country’s most original and influential investigators of unexplained phenomena and historical mysteries.
The Paranormalist series rewrites the truth to protect the guilty, the living… and possibly the reader.
What remains is the full, untold story of how trauma, compulsion, and obsession can unlock doors that were never meant to be opened.
Some lives don’t make sense until you stop pretending reality is real.
