このコンテンツについて
Tony Cornell spent his life probing the very edges of reality. A member of the UK’s Society for Psychical Research (SPR), Cornell’s role as an investigator of so-called “spontaneous cases” saw him returning time and again to the unsettling spaces that exist just on the periphery of our ordered, tidy, and rational lives, and which we all do our best to ignore: Ghosts. Spirits. Premonitions. Psychic powers. Glimpses of other worlds that throw into question everything we take for granted about life, death, and material existence itself.
This page-turner draws on Cornell's casefiles, which survive as uniquely untapped repository of stories reported by ordinary people, as well as correspondence between some of the great intellectuals of the 20th century—including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, and Marie Curie. By applying logical rigor to the investigation of events that could not be explained by conventional science, the SPR drew notable figures to its ranks as it gathered the most meticulous records ever compiled on hauntings, spiritual possessions, and other enduring mysteries.
Award-winning journalist Ben Machell mines the extensive archives of the SPR for the first time to reveal the untold history of the secretive organization, and to understand our interactions and ceaseless fascination with the unexplained.
批評家のレビュー
"A fascinating testimony to our nervous hunger to map the hazy, haunted territory at the edges of the rational. An engrossing, entertaining and distinctly unsettling read."—Sarah Waters, author of Fingersmith and Tipping the Velvet
"Shiversomely eerie,…so impressive in its research and remarkable in all it uncovers."—Tom Holland, author of Rubicon and Dominion
“Chasing the Dark combines the spookiness and investigative thrills of The X Files with brilliant research and a flair for historical narrative. This enthralling book will greatly satisfy anyone looking for thoughtful and thought-provoking insights into our perennial obsession with the supernatural.”
—Lindsey Fitzharris, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Facemaker

“A fascinating story, at turns engrossing and utterly eerie. Tony Cornell spent his life searching for the supernatural, but he never fit the modern stereotypes of ‘ghost hunter’ or ‘paranormal investigator,’ and as a result his story is all the more intriguing, for here is someone who wanted to believe but wasn't willing to suspend disbelief at the expense of his own rigor. In following Cornell's lifelong quest for the afterlife, Ben Machell unearths a deeply human story—a story about our fears, longings, and what drives us to believe.”
