Lucy's English class is working on a Shakespeare comedy, but so far it's a total tragedy. First, Lucy gets cast as the part of a mean guy, which her best friend, Cecily, gets to be the interesting female lead. Even worse, all of Lucy's lines are in the same scenes as awful Georgia Sinclaire. As if that wasn't enough afterlife drama, Lucy is torn between her crush, Colin, and intriguing older ghost-boy Miles. It's a plot complicated enough for Shakespeare himself! Will a new ghostly power help Lucy sort it all out before the curtain goes up?

Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.
