Who doesn’t love a good ghost story? This gorgeous book is a compendium of old, forgotten haunted houses imagined by artist Ben Catmull, along with the stories and rumors of who haunts them, and why. Each spread features a different haunted house, lovingly and exquisitely rendered in scratchboard on masonite, with a short, nightmare-inducing description of each scene. In “Drowned Shelley,” for example: A chorus of frogs surrounds the house where young Shelley was drowned headfirst in the bathtub by her drunken stepfather. Say her name 13 times while looking in the pond and she will drown you in your sleep. Say her name the wrong number of times while looking in the pond, and she will leave hair in your breakfast dishes. Say her name 13 times while not looking in the pond, and she will watch you when you clip your toenails. Mispronounce her name 13 times while looking anywhere near the pond, and she will kick you somewhere delicate at the stroke of midnight. Catmull’s images are evocative, haunting masterpieces that never tread in graphic imagery, choosing instead to suggest horrors far more frightening than what they explicitly depict.

Chiang Mai (literally, “new city”) suffered badly in the 1997 Asian financial crisis as the Northern Thai real estate bubble collapsed along with the Thai baht, crushing dreams of a renaissance of Northern prosperity. Years later, the ruins of the excesses of the 1990s still stain the skyline. In Ghosts of the New City, Andrew Alan Johnson shows how the trauma of the crash, brought back vividly by the political crisis of 2006, haunts efforts to remake the city. For many Chiang Mai residents, new developments harbor the seeds of the crash, which manifest themselves in anxious stories of ghosts and criminals who conceal themselves behind the city’s progressive veneer. Hopes for rebirth and fears of decline have their roots in Thai conceptions of progress, which draw from Buddhist and animist ideas of power and sacrality. Cities, Johnson argues, were centers where the charismatic power of kings and animist spirits were grounded; these entities assured progress by imbuing the space with sacred power that would avert disaster. Johnson traces such magico-religious conceptions of potency and space from historical records through present-day popular religious practice and draws parallels between these and secular attempts at urban revitalization. Through a detailed ethnography of the contested ways in which academics, urban activists, spirit mediums, and architects seek to revitalize the flagging economy and infrastructure of Chiang Mai, Johnson finds that alongside the hope for progress there exists a discourse about urban ghosts, deadly construction sites, and the lurking anxiety of another possible crash, a discourse that calls into question history’s upward trajectory. In this way, Ghosts of the New City draws new connections between urban history and popular religion that have implications far beyond Southeast Asia.

We all have ghosts that haunt us... Two prisoners discover that redemption has many faces while navigating an unexpected escape... Horribly scarred and on the run, a former sex worker finds compassion and shelter in the form of a young drifter... And at a special movie screening in 1982, a journalist discovers that more than the film is unraveling around her... Here, among the ruins of dying worlds and broken dreams, you'll find these and other dark tales, including: - In To The Dead Sea, a writer returns from a year of isolation in a mountain cabin to discover his world is no longer what he left behind. - A young couple is forced to make a life or death decision when they are pulled over by a state trooper just before sunset in Knock, Knock, Knock. - In She Sells Sea Shells, a mother and her nine-year-old daughter get more than they bargained for after purchasing a mysterious conch at a souvenir shop. - The aftermath of a zombie apocalypse leads a small seaside community to find a creative way to keep the outside world at bay... but they soon discover they've created monsters of their own in the darkly comedic Zombay, NL. - And the heartfelt novella Gadget tells the story of a terminally ill old man who reluctantly adopts an elderly mutt and comes to realize they have more to offer each other than just companionship. Populated with unforgettable characters and filled with vivid imagery, the eight stories in this anthology are by turns haunting, heartbreaking, horrifying, and hilarious. Whether revisiting the bright nostalgia of the '80s or exploring the darkness at the end of the world, each of these tales will stay with you long after the last page is turned.

PREFACE As he advances in life, a man runs the risk of stumbling against some ruin, and he walks escorted as if by a swarm of phantoms. Ruins and ghosts! It is the balance sheet of human things: ruins of illusions, ghosts of memories. It is enough to wander or to think to see oneself or rather to feel surrounded by all that is dead around us and by all that has become invisible. Who claimed that ghosts did not exist? They are everywhere; everywhere the aged man encounters, at the bend of a year which is ending, of an eloquent anniversary which speaks of the past, a crowd of things pale and half lost in the mist, and which are specters in truth, specters of affections or dead illusions. How many specters thus lodged in this Paris that the living thinks they live alone! In almost every room, closed or discreet nest, where two lovers love each other, two shadows slip, which formerly, in the same place also exchanged their kisses or their sighs. The world of ghosts holds as much space as the other.
