About this book

This collection of essays looks at Halloween alongside other festivals that deal with death and life. It treats the holiday as a rich and varied reflection of how a society understands itself, rather than as a simple seasonal entertainment.

A recurring theme is the strange appeal of a holiday built around death, evil and the grotesque. The essays suggest that its popularity is both ironic and unsettling, and they question how we think about religiosity and spirituality in modern life.

The volume will appeal to readers interested in folklore, religion and popular festivals. Univ of Tennessee Pr published it in 1994.ISBN-13: 9780870498138.
