An intriguing look at ghost stories through a feminist lens, exploring in particular such tales in which women are the subject matter. This book considers feminine and female tropes, the consumption of these women-as-ghost stories, who profits from such consumption, and what this means, particularly in cases where the featured female ghosts suffer multiple marginalizations. Unlike some, I didn't find the authors' belief in the paranormal to intrude on my skepticism or interest. I did find the writing uneven in places, swaying between academic and anecdotal in a way that was a little distracting. I'm not sure if that was due to having two authors, or to trying to include a lot of material that varied widely in its factual versus fictional content. Overall, a worthwhile and engrossing read for skeptics and believers alike.
