London. Bloomsbury Circus/Bloomsbury Publishing plc. 2020. First Edition/First Printing (1 included in full number line on copyright page). Hard Cover. Demy 8vo, 8¾" x 5½" [22 x 14 cm] approx. 314 pp. Black boards with metallic turquoise titles and borders to the spine. Illustrated endpapers. Flat signed by the author without dedication to the title page. London, 1938. Alma Fielding, an ordinary young woman, begins to experience supernatural events in her suburban home. Nandor Fodor - a Jewish-Hungarian refugee and chief ghost hunter for the International Institute for Psychical research - begins to investigate. In doing so he discovers a different and darker type of haunting: trauma, alienation, loss - and the foreshadowing of a nation's worst fears. As the spectre of Fascism lengthens over Europe, and as Fodor's obsession with the case deepens, Alma becomes ever more disturbed. With rigour, daring and insight, the award-winning pioneer of historical narrative non-fiction Kate Summerscale shadows Fodor's enquiry, delving into long-hidden archives to find the human story behind a very modern haunting.
