The concept of Hauntology has evolved since first emerging in the 1990s and has now entered
the cultural mainstream. But where does this term come from and what exactly does it mean? This
book seeks to answer 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. From the rise of
Spiritualism to the folk horror revival This book traces our continuing engagement with these
esoteric ideas.
