SHORTLISTED FOR THE PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE 2020 'A uniquely strange and wonderful work of literature' Philip Hoare 'An exciting new voice' Mark Cocker, author of Crow Country In his late thirties, Edward Parnell found himself trapped in the recurring nightmare of a family tragedy. For comfort, he turned to his bookshelves, back to the ghost stories that obsessed him as a boy, and to the writers through the ages who have attempted to confront what comes after death. In Ghostland, Parnell goes in search of the 'sequestered places' of the British Isles, our lonely moors, our moss-covered cemeteries, our stark shores and our folkloric woodlands. He explores how these landscapes conjured and shaped a kaleidoscopic spectrum of literature and cinema, from the ghost stories and weird fiction of M. R. James, Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood to the children's fantasy novels of Alan Garner and Susan Cooper; from W. G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn and Graham Swift's Waterland to the archetypal 'folk horror' film The Wicker Man... Ghostland is Parnell's moving exploration of what has haunted our writers and artists - and what is haunting him. It is a unique and elegiac meditation on grief, memory and longing, and of the redemptive power of stories and nature.

Whether or not it's out there, truth is stranger than fiction, as this fascinating collection of eerie experiences will show. What is truth? It's what you believe in and all the people who have offered their stories believe what they saw, what they encountered. Many of the cases have been drawn from the files of "Kent Messenger Group" newspapers. Indeed, several are reprinted from "The X Files series" published in "The Kent Messenger". But there are also new, intriguing contributions unearthed by reporters from ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. Such as: The former policeman who dabbed with a ouija board and attracted spirited, but unwelcome, guests into his house; the hard-nosed investigative journalist who was astounded when he suddenly recalled being a charioteer in ancient Rome; and, the devoted wife who says her dead husband plays chess in the lounge to show he is still around. As the cornerstone of England, steeped in history and legend, Kent can boast its far share of tales about phantom ships and haunted castles. They are part of the fabric of the county, the kind of stuff eagerly digested by the thousands of visitors who meander through its leafy lanes. But no tourist guide we have ever seen includes reports of abductions by aliens. And yet, in Greenhithe and the Sevenoaks area, it would seem, such things may go on. So, settle back, open your mind and prepare to visit a Kent you've never seen before. Oh, and keep the lights on...

From essays about the Salem witch trials to literary uses of ghosts by Twain, Wharton, and Bierce to the cinematic blockbuster "The Sixth Sense," this book is the first to survey the importance of ghosts and hauntings in American culture across time. From the Puritans' conviction that a thousand preternatural beings appear every day before our eyes, to today's resurgence of spirits in fiction and film, the culture of the United States has been obsessed with ghosts. In each generation, these phantoms in popular culture reflect human anxieties about religion, science, politics, and social issues.
"Spectral America "asserts that ghosts, whether in oral tradition, literature, or such modern forms as cinema have always been constructions embedded in specific historical contexts and invoked for explicit purposes, often political in nature. The essays address the role of "spectral evidence" during the Salem witch trials, the Puritan belief in good spirits, the convergence of American Spiritualism and technological development in the nineteenth century, the use of the supernatural as a tool of political critique in twentieth-century magic realism, and the "ghosting" of persons living with AIDS. They also discuss ghostly themes in the work of Ambrose Bierce, Edith Wharton, Gloria Naylor, and Stephen King.
