About the author
Andy Thomas is a British writer and researcher known for his work on the paranormal, unexplained phenomena, and conspiracy theories, and for his long-standing investigation of crop circles. Strange: Paranormal Realities in the Everyday World collects first-hand accounts of unusual experiences reported by ordinary people. The New Heretics examines why conspiracy theories around COVID, QAnon, and other controversies have become so polarizing, aiming for a measured account of believers and skeptics alike. Conspiracies: The Facts, the Theories, the Evidence, revised and reissued in 2020, surveys major historical conspiracy claims, from the assassination of John F. Kennedy to the 9/11 attacks, weighing evidence against speculation. All three books are published by Watkins Publishing and are aimed at general readers interested in an even-handed treatment of fringe beliefs rather than at debunking or advocacy.
