Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries seances and spiritualist meetings
grew in popularity. One 'ghost' appeared more than any other: the Katie
King spirit. A Ghost's Story presents the mysterious spirit writings
and biographical outpourings of Katie King, this famous and enigmatic
spirit celebrity.
Is she a profound and curious consciousness
guided into this realm by the faith of true believers, or the cheap
trickery of parlour cheats and exploitative swindlers? Katie King is
both, and more. This is the tale of a ghost's quest to understand human
faith, loss and passion. It is also the tale of a contemporary scholar
desperate to understand the allure of the spirit world, journeying with
Katie from the candle-lit drawing rooms of Victorian London to the
Imperial Palaces of Tsars; from the shadiest of gimmicks and tricks, to
the most poignant sincerity of the death-bed wish.
A Ghost's
Story announces a narrator like no other, moving in and out of time and
space, obstreperous, witty and profoundly honest. Above all, it is an
examination of belief and a spectacular insight into what lies on the
other side.
