Book excerpt: Haunted Heritage is a fascinating scholarly examination of the dynamics of ghost or paranormal tourism. Michele Hanks explores how this phenomenon allows for the re-articulation and re-configuring of ideas of heritage, epistemic authority, nation, and belonging. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Hanks delves into the anthropological, sociological, political, historical, and cultural factors that drive this burgeoning business. Using York, England, said to be “the most haunted city in the world,” as the base for her research, Hanks focuses on three forms of ghost tourism: ghost walks, commercial ghost hunts, and non-profit ghost hunts and paranormal investigations, comparing the experience of York with other sites of ghost tourism globally. This book will appeal to scholars interested in tourism, heritage, the paranormal, visual cultural, British studies, or popular religion.

Book excerpt: England is renowned as the most haunted country in the world. Its ancient castles, abbeys, and historic houses are home to countless tales of murder, torture, and betrayal, and often these legends live on in the ghosts that are said to possess these buildings. InHaunted Heritage,John Mason has photographed 60 ancient properties using infra-red film, capturing their foreboding sense of mystery and menace. From Scarborough Castle, where the headless apparition of Piers Gaveston is said to lure people over the battlements to their deaths, to Okehampton Castle, where the phantom Lady Howard rides nightly in a gruesome coach fashioned from the bones of her four husbands,Haunted Heritageis a spine-tingling excursion through England's unearthly ruins.

Book excerpt: Enjoy This Contemporary Small Town Amateur Sleuth Murder Mystery Excitement is building as the opening of the Acutis Society’s Fairy Tales and Frights haunted house approaches. The members of Saint Clare’s gaming group have worked hard to transform the interior of the Myer Mansion into something both magical and scary to entertain the families of Myerton as Halloween approaches. But does an actual ghost walk the halls of the 170 year old house? After Nate writes an article for the Myerton Gazette claiming that that ghost of Victoria Myer haunts the mansion, Father Tom wants a retraction--until the story is picked up by the Baltimore paper and ticket sales go through the roof. Still, Father Tom knows there’s no such thing as ghosts . . . Right? When he finds Catherine Conway in an upstairs room talking to someone he can’t see--a woman asking for a priest to say Masses and prayers for her soul--Father Tom comes to the only conclusion possible. Victoria Myer still lives in the house. And she’s suffering the torments of purgatory. But when one of the participants in the house is found stabbed to death, Father Tom and Helen must search for an earthly killer before he strikes again. The Haunted Heritage is the tenth book in The Father Tom Mysteries series, a contemporary small town mystery series. It features Father Tom Greer, a Catholic Priest who is also an amateur sleuth in the tradition of Father Brown. If you enjoy the works of Rhys Dylan, Andrew Mayne, and Mary Stone, you will enjoy this novel.
