Ghostland: In Search of a Haunted Country by Edward Parnell
4.0
What a lot of Goodreads shelves this sits on: a personal (and very moving) memoir of bereavement; a literary tour of writers of fantasy, the macabre and ghost stories; a dazzling display of what can be done to link this writer to that, to this film star or cleric: full of “did you know?” connections and poignant family memories - holidays, bird spotting trips... and with some lovely art work from Richard Wells.
Ghostland was more personal than I had expected, rambling (or motoring) to and fro through all its subjects, but nevertheless as the quotation on the back cover claims, “psychogeography at its best.”
