| book description |

For decades, Reece Shearsmith has been collecting terrible and unexpected exhibits from our world and beyond, from the screaming skull of Glamis Castle to the Highgate vampire, via sea devils, the Krampus and a talking mongoose called Gef. Some of them he found, some of them found him, but they all reside here in his museum, carefully stored and waiting for their stories to be told. Through the lens of these items, Reece tells his own story, from a terrifying nighttime visitation on a council estate in Hull, via haunted inns and uncanny creatures that hovered around the edges of the League of Gentlemen, to the benevolent teaspoon poltergeist of the Inside No. 9 tour. Beautifully illustrated throughout by the author, Things I Took from the Dark is a memoir like no other. You'll come away knowing the author far better; but the exhibits are quite interested in you too...
