DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Black Spirits and White" from Ralph Adams Cram. Prolific and influential American architect of collegiate and ecclesiastical buildings (1863-1942)When in May, 1886, I found myself at last in Paris, I naturally determined to throw myself on the charity of an old chum of mine, Eugene Marie d'Ardeche, who had forsaken Boston a year or more ago on receiving word of the death of an aunt who had left him such property as she possessed. I fancy this windfall surprised him not a little, for the relations between the aunt and nephew had never been cordial, judging from Eugene's remarks touching the lady, who was, it seems, a more or less wicked and witch-like old person, with a penchant for black magic, at least such was the common report.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Ralph Adams Cram was a noted architect of collegiate and ecclesiastical buildings. Appropriately, given his penchant for the Gothic in architecture, Cram's only major foray into fiction is the highly regarded collection of horror stories, Black Spirits and White, whose name derives from Macbeth Act IV, Scene I. Of particular note is the final story in the collection, 'The Dead Valley', whose memorable climax was singled out by H.P. Lovecraft as a favorite moment in the history of supernatural fiction.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this book Tiya Miles explores the popular yet troubling phenomenon of "ghost tours," frequently promoted and experienced at plantations, urban manor homes, and cemeteries throughout the South. As a staple of the tours, guides entertain paying customers by routinely relying on stories of enslaved black specters. But who are these ghosts? Examining popular sites and stories from these tours, Miles shows that haunted tales routinely appropriate and skew African American history to produce representations of slavery for commercial gain. "Dark tourism" often highlights the most sensationalist and macabre aspects of slavery, from salacious sexual ties between white masters and black women slaves to the physical abuse and torture of black bodies to the supposedly exotic nature of African spiritual practices. Because the realities of slavery are largely absent from these tours, Miles reveals how they continue to feed problematic "Old South" narratives and erase the hard truths of the Civil War era. In an incisive and engaging work, Miles uses these troubling cases to shine light on how we feel about the Civil War and race, and how the ghosts of the past are still with us.
