Cinematic Ghosts by Murray J.D. Leeder
Haunting and Spectrality from Silent Cinema to the Digital Era
This edited collection explores how film has imagined ghosts across more than a century, showing how cinema’s unique relationship to time, memory, and the photographic trace makes it a natural medium for the spectral. Spanning early trick films, classic horror, global traditions, and the digital era, the essays examine haunting through lenses such as hauntology, psychoanalysis, and cultural history. Together they trace how evolving technologies and contexts reshape representations of the uncanny while reflecting on history, trauma, and the persistence of the past.
