The Lost Souls - Matthew Wilkinson - Bog

It is generally uncommon to die twice in the space of twenty-four hours, but Todd Sykes manages to do just that. Starring as the third member of a ghost-hunting reality TV show, Todd and his intrepid team spend many nights locked in historic and allegedly haunted locations, seeking out signs of the paranormal. Their show is hugely popular, mainly due to the remarkable number of ghostly sightings and sounds they get during each 'investigation', which their many millions of fanatical fans enthusiastically lap up each week. Something that Todd never mentions to anyone, of course, is that he emphatically does not believe in ghosts or the paranormal, and he has more influence over what happens during those dark hours than anybody realizes. One evening, Todd returns home after filming and, completely without warning, his world is suddenly and shockingly turned upside down in a way that he could never have imagined. His core beliefs seem to have been shattered, and his life begins to fall apart at an alarming pace as he desperately tries to cope with each new sudden and unexpected surprise that is relentlessly thrown at him. Not only does this lead to his death - twice - but Todd then sinks deeper and deeper into a terrifying mental quagmire, changing his life, and the lives of those around him, forever.
