About the book
Ghosts and spectres, the eerie and the occult. Why is contemporary culture so preoccupied by the supernatural, so captivated by the revenants of an earlier age, so haunted? The concept of hauntology has evolved since first emerging in the 1990s, and has now entered the cultural mainstream as a shorthand for our newfound obsession with the recent past. But where does this term come from and what exactly does it mean? This book answers these questions by examining the history of our fascination with the uncanny from the golden age of the Victorian ghost story to the present day.
