I really enjoyed this! Information dense but very readable. I learned a few things that I was expecting and enjoyed the review of a subject I enjoy. The capitalist advertising art is surprisingly whimsical and pleasing to the eye. A fun quick read if you have some time to kill and want to learn some quick digest facts about ghosts.

An Illustrated History of Ghosts is a spooky and informative graphic novel featuring ghost related facts alongside stunning artwork! The book features facts about haunted houses, objects and people and I learnt something new every page. I would have liked there to be more detail, however this served as a quick and easy ghostly guide! If you are looking for a thorough guide to all things haunted, I would recommend something more detailed. But for someone learning the basics of the paranormal, this is brilliant!

I don't know what I was expecting of this book, however it was far more interesting than I anticipated, and a really interesting and beautifully drawn book about ghosts, culturally, historically and literarily and it makes a really great read for spooky season!

I loved reading this book, fascinating information (I didn't know ghosts had haunting categories?!) tied together with some really incredible illustrations that bring this book together really beautifully (I would say brought to life but..) this book is a real gem for a young ghost hunter in your life (and haven't we all gone through that phase? right? *nervous laugh*

A fantastic read, thank you to Netgalley for the book for review!

A delightful read about ghosts - one of my favorite things in this mysterious world. It doesn't delve too deep into anything, it's spoopy and cute with the most wonderful illustrations. If you like ghosts, you'll like this book.
