Description
Lisa Morton covers the early history of ghosts in folklore, literature, and history, as well as modern examples such as Ghost Hunters and The Conjuring. In the history of the numinous, there are few things more common than the belief in ghosts.
From the earliest writings such as the Epic of Gilgamesh to today's ghost-hunting reality TV shows, ghosts have chilled the air of nearly every era and culture in human history. In Ghosts, now available in B-format paperback, Lisa Morton wrangles together history's most enduring ghosts into an entertaining and comprehensive look at what otherwise seems to always evade our eyes.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Ghosts by Lisa Morton is praised for its insightful and sceptical exploration of humanity's fascination with spectral phenomena across history and cultures. The book is noted for its rich illustrations and accessible writing, which weave together various aspects of ghost lore, such as haunted houses and spirit photographs, while occasionally allowing a hint of the truly uncanny to shine through. This engaging guide appeals to both sceptics and those enthralled by eerie narratives, making it a comprehensive resource on the supernatural.
