In this study of representations of children and childhood, a global team of authors explores the theme of undeadness as it applies to cultural constructions of the child. Moving beyond conventional depictions of the undead in popular culture as living dead monsters of horror and mad science that transgress the borders between life and death, rejuvenation, and decay, the authors present undeadness as a broader concept that explores how people, objects, customs, and ideas deemed lost or consigned to the past might endure in the present. The chapters examine nostalgic texts that explore past incarnations of childhood, mementos of childhood, zombie children, spectral children, images and artefacts of deceased children, as well as states of arrested development and the inability or refusal to embrace adulthood. Expanding undeadness beyond the realm of horror and extending its meaning conceptually, while acknowledging its roots in the genre, the book explores attempts at countering the transitory nature of childhoods. This unique and insightful volume will interest scholars and students working on popular culture and cultural studies, media studies, film and television studies, childhood studies, gender studies, and philosophy.
A paranormal investigation into the haunting of the infamous Borley Rectory and other chilling lore of England. Built in 1863, the Gothic-style parish in the Essex village of Borley gained a nerve-jangling notoriety. Claims of apparitions, unexplained footsteps, and a phantom carriage that rode the grounds after dark, made the mansion as forbidding to locals as it was a draw to ghost hunters. Even after it was destroyed, the unexplainable terrors of what was known as “the most haunted house in England” continued. Borley House is just one of the legends featured in this compendium of the supernatural phenomena occurring for centuries on the Essex/Suffolk border. Psychic investigator Wesley Downes also explores the mysterious “Sweeps Boy” of Dedham; the vanishing island off Manningtree; the ghosts of Thorington Hall and the White Hart Hotel in Nayland; the strange visitations in Capel St. Mary; and the restless spirit of Matthew Hopkins, the sadistic 17th century Witchfinder General who still haunt the countryside. And many more. The Ghosts of Borley is part of The Paranormal, a series that resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft.
Surrendered Child is Karen Salyer McElmurray's raw, poignant account of her journey from her teen years, when she put her newborn child up for adoption, to adulthood and a desperate search for the son she never knew. In a patchwork narrative interwoven with dark memories from her childhood, McElmurray deftly treads where few dare—into a gritty, honest exploration of the loss a birth mother experiences. The year was 1973, a time of social upheaval, even in small-town Kentucky, where McElmurray grew up. More than a story of time and place, however, this is about a girl who, at the age of sixteen, relinquished her son at birth. Twenty-five years would pass before McElmurray began sharing this part of her past with others and actively looking for her son. McElmurray's own troubled upbringing and her quest after a now-fully-grown son are the heart of her story. With unflinching honesty, McElmurray recounts both the painful surrendering and the surprise rediscovery of her son, juxtaposed with her portrayal of her own mother, who could not provide the love she needed. The dramatic result is a story of birthright lost and found—and an exploration of the meaning of motherhood itself.
