Municipal Gothic: 13 ghost stories

Council estates, motorway underpasses, bypass hotels, concrete cathedrals and run-down pubs. Places we all know, that we see where we live in suburbs and towns. Why shouldn’t they be haunted? In these thirteen stories you’ll meet a demonic black dog tasked with administering a lineal curse in the age of sperm donation, a witch’s familiar forced to live off fried chicken bones, an architect whose buildings can drive you mad, headless villains and more. It includes the acclaimed ‘Modern Buildings in Wessex’ and ‘An Oral History of the Greater London Exorcism Authority’, both of which put the ghost story into new forms.
