Download The Penguin Book of the Undead: Fifteen Hundred Years of Supernatural Encounters AudioBook Free
The deceased live again in this haunting compendium of ghostly visitations through the age range, exploring the history of our fascination with zombies and other restless souls. Since historic times, accounts of supernatural activity have mystified us. Ghost tales as we know them didn't develop until the late 19th hundred years, but the restless deceased haunted the premodern creativeness in many varieties, as saved in historical narratives, theological text messages, and personal letters. The Penguin Booklet of the Undead teems with roving hordes of deceased warriors, corpses trailed by packages of barking pups, moaning phantoms haunting deserted ruins, wicked spirits rising from burning up carcasses by means of crows, and zombies with pestilential breathing. Spanning from the Hebrew scriptures to the Roman Empire, the Scandinavian sagas to medieval European countries, the Protestant Reformation to the Renaissance, this beguiling array of accounts charts our relationship with spirits and apparitions, wraiths and demons over 1,500 years, exhibiting the evolution in our thinking about the ability of deceased souls to return to the world of the living - also to warn us in what awaits us in the afterlife.
