Answer the knock from the other side with The Secrets of the Séance Society written and illustrated by Lisa Perrin!
Step into the shadow world of Spiritualism, where the living long to speak to the dead-and we long to listen. In this peculiar and lavishly illustrated compendium, artist and author Lisa Perrin uncovers the secrets, scandals, and séances that captivated the nineteenth century and beyond.
Meet the Fox sisters, whose experience being haunted by cryptic raps launched an entire movement. Witness the infamous feud between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and skeptic Harry Houdini. Take a seat at the table with Victorian mediums Eva Carrière, and the Schneider brothers, whose séance sessions conjured otherwordly presences.
The Secrets of the Séance Society is at once an eerie romp through the other side and a tool, completewith medium's manual and Ouiji board. But be warned; The line between myth and reality is thin, and the dead may be closer than you think.
Pairs well with Lisa Perrin's The League of Lady Poisoners.
