Whether you are a ghost fanatic or simply piqued by curiosity, you’ll get a robust deep dive into the experiences of paranormal occurrences, alternative explanations for these occurrences, and our culture’s fascination with them. The illustrations are beautiful, very soft and inviting, allowing you to concentrate on the facts whilst providing good context for the information. Some of the information contained in the book I was aware of but some was very new to me so although this was a fun read I would also say it was an educational read too.

Boardman's artistic style is clean and crisp but I found the overall experience pretty surface level as a newbie to this series. An Illustrated History of Ghosts provides a great overview of all things relating to ghosts from ghost catching, to haunted locations, to the pranksters themselves.This was my first time encountering Boardman's work but based on the premise and being published by Nobrow, I was expecting something aimed at older readers and either principally visual or prose/sequential art in tandem. this book is a real gem for a young ghost hunter in your life (and haven't we all gone through that phase? I didn’t expect the book to go into such detail about things that I, personally, might not have even associated with ghosts (such as magicians). Like Adam Allsuch Boardman’s earlier work with Nobrow Press, An Illustrated History of UFOs, An Illustrated History of Ghosts is a stylishly produced, colorful piece of graphic art that provides a basic but thorough introduction to ghostly myths and legends throughout the world.
