From the rear cover
Once we've terrified ourselves reading Anne Rice or Stephen King, watching Halloween or following the O. J Simpson trial, we can rely on the comfort of our inner child or Robert Bly's bongos, an angel, or even a crystal. In a brilliant assessment of American culture on the eve of the millennium, Mark Edmundson asks why we're determined to be haunted, courting the Gothic at every turn -- and, at the same time, committed to escape through any new scheme for ready-made transcendence.
