David James presents and explains his beliefs and theories as well as the concepts of astrology and numerology as he shares his journey to spiritual enlightenment. As a seeker of the truth, James offers insight into the lessons he gained from a wide variety of personal experiences throughout his lifetime. By offering a fresh perspective on how he learned to stop visualizing life from a materialistic point of view and began moving to a spiritual awakening, he allows others to envision a world of unlimited possibilities and new beginnings. James passes on the wisdom and inspiration he acquired from each life experience, and in doing so, he sheds light on such introspective issues as battling with negative energy, developing an awareness of the deep energies inside, releasing anger and life's expectations, and living consciously and intensely in the present moment. Through sharing the often intimate details of his challenging spiritual journey, James reveals exactly how he eventually reached a destination so peaceful, alive, clear, and vibrant that he is now able to exist in the here and now, achieving a level of awareness that once seemed impossible.

This anthology explores the spatial dimension and politics of haunting. It considers how the 'appearance' of absence, emptiness and the imperceptible can indicate an overwhelming presence of something that once was, and still is, (t)here. At its core, the book asks: how and why do certain places haunt us? Drawing from a diversity of mediums, forms and disciplinary approaches, the contributors to Spectral Spaces and Hauntings illustrate the complicated ways absent presences can manifest and be registered. The case studies range from the memory sites of a terrorist attack, the lost home, a vanished mining town and abandoned airports, to the post-apocalyptic wastelands in literary fiction, the photographic and filmic surfaces where spectres materialise, and the body as a site for re-corporealising the disappeared and dead. In ruminating on the afteraffects of spectral spaces on human experience, the anthology importantly foregrounds the ethical and political imperative of engaging with ghosts and following their traces.
