The Carnacki Institute is all about ghosts - or at least, keeping them under control. Their latest assignment sees JC and the team sent to a small country village, site of a famously haunted inn. At first, JC thinks that the spirits in the King's Arms are more the stuff of urban legend than anything that needs the Ghost Finders' expertise. But one story rings true: the tale of a traveller trapped in the inn by an unusual thunderstorm. She retired to her room for the night - and vanished. Trapped by an unusual thunderstorm - like the one that begins raging outside shortly after they arrive . . . As the team investigates, they are forced, one by one, to face some hard truths about themselves, their relationships and the haunting itself - truths that may push Happy Jack over the edge into the madness he has always feared . . . Spirits from Beyond is the fourth title in New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green's Ghost Finders series.

The supernatural has become extraordinarily popular in literature, television, and film. Vampires, zombies, werewolves, witches, and wizard have become staples of entertainment industries, and many of these figures have received extensive critical attention. But one figure has remained in the shadows--the female ghost. Inherently liminal, often literally invisible, the female ghost has nevertheless appeared in all genres. Subversive Spirits: The Female Ghost in British and American Popular Culture brings this figure into the light, exploring her cultural significance in a variety of media from 1926 to 2014. Robin Roberts argues that the female ghost is well worth studying for what she can tell us about feminine subjectivity in cultural contexts. Subversive Spirits examines appearances of the female ghost in heritage sites, theater, Hollywood film, literature, and television in the United States and the United Kingdom. What holds these disparate female ghosts together is their uncanny ability to disrupt, illuminate, and challenge gendered assumptions. As with other supernatural figures, the female ghost changes over time, especially responding to changes in gender roles. Roberts's analysis begins with comedic female ghosts in literature and film and moves into horror by examining the successful play The Woman in Black and the legend of the weeping woman, La Llorona. Roberts then situates the canonical works of Maxine Hong Kingston and Toni Morrison in the tradition of the female ghost to explore how the ghost is used to portray the struggle and pain of women of color. Roberts further analyzes heritage sites that use the female ghost as the friendly and inviting narrator for tourists. The book concludes with a comparison of the British and American versions of the television hit Being Human, where the female ghost expands her influence to become a mother and savior to all humanity.

For anyone who has been visited by a ghost, been spoken to by a spirit, or need to know more about the paranormal this book is for you. Even if you haven't experienced something paranormal then this book is also for you, definitely not a journey to be missed.As a child of six I was unaware that the vision of a ghost and the whispering of voices were coming from beyond the grave. At eleven years old I was haunted by a voice telling me to say 'goodbye' to my sister - she wasn't coming back.Child, teenager, adult, the battles were always there. I lived in fear of ghosts and the voices from beyond the grave. That fear turned to love as I grew to learn and understand more about ghosts and spirits. The battle with the 'Living' continues as I question why scientific research after two hundred years has seen little progress in the way those with psychic functioning abilities are tested. I battle to understand why millions of people who claim to communicate with the dead, or have witnessed something paranormal are so easily dismissed by professional career debunkers. Where does science fit in amongst those with psychic functioning and spirituality as an orthodox religion? Let the journey begin. “What stories, events, emotions – no fiction can match the story of Carole's sister, the abject fear and terror of her youth, the casual disdain from so called intelligent people, and at the end, having learnt to adjust, managing her talents to the benefit of mankind. If you wish to disbelieve this book, you will succeed. If you have an open mind, this book will make you think. I am still thinking!” Professor Ray J Paul, author of Living with Parkinson's Disease: Shake, Rattle and Roll (2009)"A compelling read!What a journey from dark to light. This book shares in the wonders of working with spirit and opens our eyes beyond this earthly world."Jackie Weaver, 'The Animal Psychic': Amazon Best-Selling Amazon author of Animal Insight.
