Claude Lecouteux, der große Kenner aller Geisterwesen und Unholde der Nacht, gibt umfassende Auskunft über Geschichte, Erscheinungsformen, Wandlungen, Sitten und Gebräuche der unheimlichen Untoten, die längst nicht mehr dem Schattenreich eines Aberglaubens angehören, sondern ihre Rolle in Romanen, Dramen, Opern, Filmen und Musicals gefunden haben. Lecouteux liefert ein auf eingehender kulturgeschichtlicher Forschung beruhendes Buch und zugleich eine fesselnde, amüsante Lektüre.

    • Odborná studie zakládající se na literárně-historických faktech se zaměřuje zvláště na germánskou a skandinávskou mytologii. Autor ve své studii rozebírá fenomeny, jako je čarodějnictví, metamorfózy, přízraky, strašidla, cesty na onen svět, setkání s mrtvými, jak se objevují ve skandinávských a germánských mýtech, legendách i vyprávění. Všechny tyto okolnosti připisuje dvojníku-duchovnímu průvodci člověka, který dokáže s lidským vědomím zpracovávat tyto vjemy.
