The Penguin Book of the Undead: Fifteen Hundred Years of Supernatural Encounters by Scott G. Bruce
3.0
I listened to this one on Audible. It was one of those books that I could only consume in small, incremental installments. I got bored a few times is what I'm saying.
Most of the book shared stories told through a religious lens as the storyteller was often a member of the Church, be that a monk or some other official. Some stories were shared in-house among the members of the Church community - monk to monk. Others were written down and mailed off for the wisdom, insight, and guidance of someone higher ranking or more well-known for their theological and philosophical knowledge.
There were a few stories as shared by the common folk, but they seemed fleeting in comparison to the numerous stories in the earlier section.
Finally, the collection addresses one of the most famous fictional ghosts from Shakespeare's library: Hamlet's father. And there, the book ended.
