Ghostlore Vol 1

What ghost stories do ghosts tell, and what can they tell us about ourselves? An estranged daughter and her father wander a haunted land; they only have the restless spirits, each with its own story to tell, as company along the way. After a deadly accident of which they are the only survivors, Lucas and Harmony Agate can see the dead–an overwhelming amount of the deceased, all with their own warnings, cries for help, and malevolence alike. But Lucas and Harmony aren’t the only ones with this ability; there are other nearly-deads, some of which have malicious motivations... Cullen Bunn of Basilisk and The Empty Man acclaim is joined by artist Leomacs (Basketful of Heads), bringing readers the most eye-opening spectral story since The Sixth Sense!

But Lucas and Harmony aren’t the only ones with this ability; there are other nearly-deads, some of which have malicious motivations...

On board the interplanetary ark Dodona, life is strictly regimented and controlled, functioning according to the edicts put in place hundreds of years ago. But when a pilot named Revla falls through the vents and out of her privileged life landing deep within the belly of the ship’s inner workings, she meets an algae tank worker named Les, and everything about their society is called into question. In this multi-generational science fiction epic, each chapter tells a new story of love and rebellion at a pivotal moment in the history of humanity’s greatest adventure. Across the centuries, different factions rise and fall, political movements gain and lose power, and society changes both for the better and the worse, all within the microcosm of the spaceship Dodona. The only constants: hope for the future and the persistence of the human heart. Hugo and Eisner-nominated writer Corinna Bechko (Star Wars Legacy, The Expanse) and artist Danny Luckert (The Red Mother, Haunted) explore love throughout time and across space along the Dodona’s long journey home. Collects The Space Between #1-4.

Aboard the interstellar ark known as the Dodona, the populations of workers live in strictly separated social castes during the journey that will take multiple generations to complete. But everything changes when a pilot from the upper tier named Revla falls to the lower levels and meets Les, and they must risk everything for not just themselves, but all aboard the Dodona!

Why do so many American college students tell stories about encounters with ghosts? In Haunted Halls, the first book-length interpretive study of college ghostlore, Elizabeth Tucker takes the reader back to school to get acquainted with a wide range of college spirits. Some of the best-known ghosts that she discusses are Emory University\'s Dooley, who can disband classes by shooting professors with his water pistol; Mansfield Uni-versity\'s Sara, who threw herself down a flight of stairs after being rejected by her boyfriend; and Huntingdon College\'s Red Lady, who slit her wrists while dressed in a red robe. Gettysburg College students have collided with ghosts of soldiers, while students at St. Mary-of-the-Woods College have reported frightening glimpses of the Faceless Nun. Tucker presents campus ghostlore from the mid-1960s to 2006, with special attention to stories told by twenty-first-century students through e-mail and instant messages. Her approach combines social, psychological, and cultural analysis, with close attention to students\' own explanations of the significance of spectral phenomena. As metaphors of disorder, insanity, and school spirit, college ghosts convey multiple meanings. Their colorful stories warn students about the dangers of overindulgence, as well as the pitfalls of potentially horrifying relationships. Besides offering insight into students\' initiation into campus life, college ghost stories make important statements about injustices suffered by Native Americans, African Americans, and others.
