SECRETS OF THE SEANCE SOCIETY (HB)

By the author-illustrator of The League of Lady Poisoners, this lavishly illustrated treasury considers the heyday of Spiritualism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, complemented by Victorian-inspired portraits, icons and lettering. The book spotlights the celebrities, investigators, fraudsters, reformers and rebels of the age - larger-than-life characters who found their way onto the stage and into newspaper headlines. It also explores the deeper question of why the living world is endlessly trying to connect with the dead.
