London: Chatto & Windus, 1994. First edition. Very Good +/very good +. This engrossing anthology is the first together spectres from Gilgamesh to Ghostbusters, from all five continents, in drama, poetry, memoirs, and folk tales as well as the time-honoured ghost story. The expected names are here - Shakespeare, Dickens, Hardy or M.R. James - but ghosts stream through world literature from the Bible to the ballad, from prehistoric to post-modern, haunting writers as diverse as Home and Angel Carter, Rabelais and Seamus Heaney, Kipling and Goethe, Derek Walcott and Will Self.
