PETER LAWS
Meet Rev Peter Laws, your friendly neighbourhood minister of the macabre.
He’s not your average storyteller. He’s loved ghost stories, horror films and the paranormal long before he ever set foot in a church and became ordained. Ever since, he’s invited others into the unexplained, exploring the uncanny corners of the world. With a healthy dose of humour, curiosity, horror, and a very open mind, Peter welcomes you into a thrilling exploration of the unseen. Without any religious agenda, his books, podcasts, talks and media appearances will resonate with fellow fans of the strange, spooky and downright scary.
So, turn down the lights and dive into Peter’s spine-tingling world, where fear meets fascination.

UNCANNY
Peter is one of the 'experts' on the hit BBC Sounds/ Radio 4 Podcast 'Uncanny' with Danny Robins.
He has appeared in every season, including the first-ever episode, famous for the line 'Bloody Hell, Ken!' Uncanny offers two perspectives on the paranormal, from Team Skeptic to Team Believer. Peter represents the latter.
NON-FICTION
As well as a monthly column in The Fortean Times magazine, Peter has also written two non fiction books. Including his acclaimed book 'The Frighteners: Why We Love Monsters, Ghosts, Death and Gore'. The book was described as 'A paradoxically jolly book about our fascination with horror' by the Daily Mail. You can sometimes buy signed copies of this book directly from the author, on this site. 'Weird' is a memoir and is available free when signing up to the Peter Laws Newsletter.
