Book review: Photography and Spirit

jacket image
John Harvey's Photography and Spirit was glowingly reviewed on GhostVillage.com this week. Reviewer Lee Prosser praises the book saying

This is a journey through the surreal, an active and in-depth examination of the numerous myths and cultural history surrounding spirit photography. The photographs cover the period from 1860 through the present, and reveal enduring artifacts of cultural history. The book is also a telling statement about the various meanings of death in Western culture. . . . Literate, well-written, and highly entertaining are the three words to best describe this book by John Harvey. Highly recommended!
