Krátky popis
We all know the same ghosts: it's simply a question of how doggedly
they haunt us. Part-chilling tale, part-memoir, part-cultural
exploration, Haunted: Ghost Stories and Their Afterlives takes us
through some of the most chilling and enduring ghost stories, and
discusses what they reveal about the listener, the teller and the
times we live in. E.Jay Gilbert has been collecting tales of the
supernatural from her local area (a small village outside of
Newcastle) for years and what surprised her most is how universal
those are: not only in terms of recurring spectres that haunt us
the world over (I'm looking at you, White Ladies), but also how
similar our experience of ghost-telling is, wherever we grew up.
The result is a book which explores more widely the ghosts of the
British Isles and how they have endured and changed through the
ages: how they reflect the communities in which they originate, and
how they are similar to and different from similar stories from
across the world. Haunted doesn't just thrill with the tales of the
inexplicable, but also asks why are we so fascinated by ghost
stories and what do they tell us about the community and people who
cultivate them.Why are some tropes universal, while others are very
much unique to the place they haunt? Do we actually care about the
identity of the ghost? Or are we more concerned about how the
alleged sighting made us feel?Aimed at both believers and sceptics,
it's not only for those who are looking to be frightened a little,
but also for those interested in the psychology and history of the
long tradition of supernatural storytelling. Absolutely
irresistible, a fascinating account of the stories we tell
ourselves and the ghosts we keep close - Amanda MasonA delightfully
personal adventure into the paranormal worlds of these isles -
seeking all sorts of spectres from banshee to black dogs. - Dr
