Weird and Gothic horrors such as demons, ghosts, and spectors are brought forth in this encyclopedia. The long history of the supernatural is seen in entry topics on ancient evil, Apuleius, Lucian, and the supernatural in Greek literature. The majority of the encyclopedia's entries treat authors, themes and works of the 19th through 21st centuries, including Alexander Dumas, Charles Baudelaire, and Daphne du Maurier, among other writers of Gothic fiction, and recent writers such as Katherine Dunn, Shirley Jackson, and A.R. Morlan. Works from television and film, and demons and other aspects of the supernatural in various religions and national literatures are also described. Most entries conclude with an annotated bibliography. Indexes of fictional characters, motifs, and a general index are included. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
