Australia’s most irresponsible historian is back with a book that will send shivers down your spine.
100 Tales from Australia’s Most Haunted Places from comedy writer Ben Pobjie takes readers on a hair-raising adventure through the spookiest corners across the country.
From the ghostly black horse of Sutton Forest and the butcher of Adelaide Street to a haunted Brisbane lift and the chilling experiments carried out by Doctor Blood of the North Kapunda Hotel, readers nationwide will delight in recognising their favourite local haunts and are encouraged to explore them – if they dare.
But take heed: some spirits do not like to be disturbed. Fortunately for Pobjie, most of his research was done remotely during COVID lockdowns so he lived to tell the tales.
Told with Pobjie’s trademark flair and brutally funny wit, 100 Tales from Australia’s Most Haunted Places is best read with the lights left on.
Ben Pobjie is the author of Error Australis, Mad Dogs and Thunderbolts and Second Best, as well as countless articles about TV, sport, politics and the meaning of life scattered throughout the Australian media landscape. He lives in Sydney where he spends his days panicking about deadlines.
100 Tales from Australia’s Most Haunted Places is published by Affirm Press and available from all leading book sellers including Booktopia.
