Phantoms of the dead, warning apparitions and necromancy there are many stories of ghosts to be found in the retold literature of ancient peoples: Khonsemhab and the Ghost and The Adventure of Setne Khamwas with the Mummies, both from Ancient Egypt; Philinnion and Machates from Ancient Rome; spirits featured in Homers Odyssey, from Ancient Greece; tales of Babylonian demons and the netherworld; and stories of fire apparitions from Japan. The Vikings too had their fair share of ghosts, such as crop up in the 13th-century Icelandic Laxdaela Saga. These stories are all brought together in this new collection for an intriguing insight into the spirit world of early cultures.
