Looking back now, it is fascinating to realize that the popular culture following the First World War seemed full of ghosts and vampires, creatures popping out of movies and television and popular novels. Was this popular depiction an attempt to contain or perhaps express the cultural level of melancholy and mourning? Did these effects and influence come from the past (slavery, wars, historical trauma, gulags) or, as some might say, from the future already present (climate change, terrorism, economic pain)?
