Most cultures have tales about the souls of the dead lingering on. The same was true of Germans of past centuries, who believed that ghosts haunted every corner of this world - from remote swamps and forests, to crumbling ruins and city alleys, to the houses of the living themselves.

This book presents a collection of 100 German folk tales featuring ghosts, each translated into English and given extensive translation notes and commentary to provide additional context.

Read on to discover:

  • The many shapes of ghosts - from human, to animal, to protean horrors
  • Existence as a ghost - what causes it, and how it can be escaped
  • The use of ghost tales in propaganda
  • Romancing the dead - knowingly or not
  • Best practices in ectoplasmic waste disposal
