Happiness is a warm TV

Raleigh author's spooky Duke thriller on UNC-TV today

Bookmark and Share

Raleigh author Alexandra Sokoloff will discuss her new thriller "The Unseen" this afternoon on "NC Bookwatch" on UNC-TV

The heroine of Sokoloff's book is a Duke University psych professor who is shaken by a precognitive dream and becomes obsessed with files from the famous Rhine parapsychology experiments, which took place at Duke and attempted to prove the legitimacy of ESP. Along with another Duke professor and a pair of Duke students, the protagonist moves into an abandoned mansion to replicate the investigation, unaware that the last group of scientists to do so ended up either insane or dead. 

Sokoloff, whose first novel "The Harrowing" was nominated for both a Bram Stoker award and an Anthony Award for Best First Novel, has written original thriller and horror scripts for numerous Hollywood studios. She splits her time between Raleigh and Los Angeles, and is currently at work on her fourth supernatural thriller for St. Martin's Press.

"NC Bookwatch" airs today at 5 PM on UNC-TV.
