Rezensionen

Engaging … Ghosted explores the shifting balance of power between mediums and investigators — the traumatised grief of desperate World War I parents giving way to the macho nerd-dom of the modern "ghost-hunter," out for spectral scalps and YouTube hits … Vernon's real subject is the basic need to believe, as true now as at the turn of the last century. Indeed, perhaps it's more vital — and human — than ever before.
