- This co-edited volume of essays (approx. 250,000 words) comprises a 10,000-word introduction and 48 essays by major scholars in the field, including chapters by Brewster and two additional members of the REF submission. It constitutes the first comprehensive study of ghost story traditions in the British Isles, continental Europe, the Americas, South Africa, India, South-East Asia and Australasia. In its geographical reach, contextual scope, theoretical diversity and interdisciplinary range, the volume significantly extends understanding of the supernatural tale, and the social and cultural roles played by ghosts, in literature, theatre, film, television, radio, digital culture, folklore and popular culture.
