"Fascinating. . . . A fun and thorough look at how humans have
tried to communicate with the dead over time."-Library Journal "An
impressive piece of research. . . . A must-read for anyone
fascinated with Spiritualism."-Alma Katsu, author of The Deep and
The Hunger Calling the Spirits investigates the eerie history of
our conversations with the dead, from necromancy in Homer's Odyssey
to the emergence of Spiritualism, when Victorians were entranced by
mediums and the seance was born. Among our cast are the Fox
sisters, teenagers surrounded by "spirit rappings;" Daniel Dunglas
Home, the "greatest medium of all time;" Houdini and Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, whose unlikely friendship was forged, then riven, by
the afterlife; and Helen Duncan, the medium whose trial in 1944 for
witchcraft proved more popular to the public than news about the
war. The book also considers Ouija boards, modern psychics and
paranormal investigations, and is illustrated with engravings, fine
art (from beyond), and photographs. A hugely entertaining
contribution from the supernaturally adept Lisa Morton, Calling the
Spirits begs the question: is anybody there . . . ?
