About This Book -

Edited by Ric Alexander and published by the legendary Gollancz imprint, The Unexplained: Stories of the Paranormal is a masterfully curated anthology that takes readers on a dizzying tour through the far reaches of the imagination — exploring the full spectrum of human experience at the edge of knowledge.

Featuring work from some of the most celebrated voices in speculative and dark fiction, the collection spans vampires, psychokinesis, UFOs, urban mythology, and beyond. Contributors include Clive Barker (The Forbidden), J.G. Ballard (The Encounter), Olaf Stapledon (A Modern Magician), and David J. Schow (Red Light), among others. Each story pushes at the boundaries of what we accept as real — and asks what lies just beyond the edges of understanding.

Assembled at the threshold of a new millennium, when alternative thinking and fascination with the supernatural had never run higher, this anthology captures a particular cultural moment with both intelligence and atmosphere.

A perfect read for the curious, the sceptical, and the true believers alike.
