In this volume, ghost stories are studied in the context of their
media, their place in history and geography. From prehistory to
this day, we have been haunted by our memories, the past itself, by
inklings of the future, by events playing outside our lives, and by
ourselves. Hence the lure of ghost stories throughout history and
presumably prehistory. Science has been a great destroyer of myth
and superstition, but at the same time it has created new black
boxes which we are filling with our ghostly imagination. In this
book, literature from the Middle Ages to Oscar Wilde and Neil
Gaiman, children's stories, folklore and films, ranging from the
Antarctic and Russia to Haiti, are covered and show the continuing
presence of spectral phenomena.
