The author examines Ian Rankin's use of the gothic convention of the ghost in Black and Blue, Dead Souls, Set in Darkness, and "The Very Last Drop." In these works, ghosts and skeletons are used as metaphors for Detective Inspector John Rebus's guilt over past mistakes and for the dark past of his home city, Edinburgh.

An intellectual feast for fans of offbeat history, Ghostland takes readers on a road trip through some of the country's most infamously haunted places--and deep into the dark side of our history.
I've always said I'm not afraid of ghosts or spirits. Nobody could frighten me with their ghost stories because there is no such thing as a ghost, I thought. But believe me, after my experience and to all the stories I've heard so far from people who have experienced it, I now know better. I know there are many other people who do not believe in ghosts either. Some will say it's imagination. There are many other people who definitely believe in ghosts. Some say it's spirits. Dead people whose souls cannot get to rest.But look, if all your hair is standing straight up, and you get the feeling that something or someone watches you and you cannot see that 'something' or 'someone,' then even the toughest man, the strongest detective, or the hardest and fearless policeman will wet his pants. Especially if someone touch you with a cold hand, but you cannot see that person. Or you can see the person, and you look at the most horrible face you've ever seen, then nobody can argue anymore. But there will still be those who will say that it's just bogus and they do not hold themselves up with things like that. You should not go looking for trouble now, but what if the ghosts are looking for you and searching for you, late night when you lie alone in your bed? Do you believe in ghosts? Just decide for yourself after reading this book. Some of the stories are based on hearsay, but it makes you think twice not to find yourself alone in the dark, or to pick up strangers at night alongside the roads, even if it's a woman. There are many kinds of classifications for spirits. Many people will disagree with it and have other opinions. According to hearsay, there are three kinds of spirits (ghosts), namely:Ordinary / good spirit. He or she is friendly, quiet and calm. Just come visit, or will take care of you.Neutral. He/she will warn you against something, will sometimes be severe, burdened and/or will tease you too.Dangerous He / she is a bully, underhand and unpredictable. They will also taunt, threat, use violence or even commit homicide.

Sometimes words come right to you. And sometimes you have to pluck them from the wind as they pass by you, once on their way to some other place but now residing with you, awaiting you to use them.
