Description & Specifications

In this work, Edward Parnell seeks solace in books, returning to the ghost stories that haunted him as a child. In the book Ghostland, he explores the 'hidden places' of the British Isles, our solitary wildernesses, landscaped cemeteries, strange coasts, and traditional forests. He analyzes how these landscapes have shaped a colorful array of literature and cinema, from ghost stories and the "strange" literature of M. R. James, Arthur Machen, and Algernon Blackwood, to the children's fantasy novels of Alan Garner and Susan Cooper.

Ghostland is a moving exploration of what has haunted our writers and artists—and what haunts himself. It is a unique and elegiac reflection on grief, memory, and longing, as well as the life-saving power of stories and nature.
