Ghost Con

Arthur Z. Miller sees the world in amber data-streams. And the data says there is no such thing as ghosts. Armed with a wearable sensor suite known as the Manifold and a reputation for dismantling supernatural frauds, Miller arrives at the remote Vestige Hotel to expose a lucrative con run by a charismatic operator named Orville. To Miller, the hauntings are nothing but engineering: hidden solenoids, chemical chills, ultrasonic dread, and carefully staged terror designed to empty bank accounts. He expects tricks. He expects criminals. He does not expect violations of physics. When his room ...

In the early days of photography, in the death-strewn wake of the Civil War, one man seized America's imagination. A "spirit photographer", William Mumler took portrait photographs that featured the ghostly presence of a lost loved one alongside the living subject. Mumler was a sensation. Peter Manseau brilliantly captures a nation wracked with grief and hungry for proof of the existence of ghosts and for contact with their dead husbands and sons. It took a circus-like trial of Mumler on fraud charges to expose a fault line of doubt and manipulation.

Bob Constantine (no relation to the other Constantine you may have heard of) is a down-on-his-luck exorcist-for-hire. Nondenominational. He roams from town to town, from city to city, inexorably drawn to the homes, businesses, and even places of worship that have become temporal homes for terrifying, malevolent spirits. Poltergeists. Screaming Mimis. Apparitions. Banshees. You see, Bob is one of the rarest of humans: a necropath, with the talent to see and communicate with the spirits of the dead. And demons, obviously. Demons are real, by the way. Bob should know, as he’s had once ...
