This page isn’t intending to review works of fiction as a rule, but since J J Lumsden seems to have come up with a concept which ‘fills a new literary space’, we’ll make an exception.

The Hidden Whisper is a mystery story centring round alleged poltergeist activity that breaks out in a couple’s home in Arizona. The author’s credentials could scarcely be better for the subject: he’s an experimental parapsychologist, based in the UK, with a PhD from the Koestler Parapsychology Unit at the University of Edinburgh.

As well as weaving an intriguing and well-written novel around paranormal events, Lumsden also provides about 20,000 words of non-fiction endnotes which go into the subject of the poltergeist phenomenon in more depth. Authenticity is clearly the author’s watchword.

An appealing blend of science and detective story, The Hidden Whisper is described as the ‘Sophie’s World of parapsychology’.
