An entertaining exploration of more than three hundred words associated with death, fear, darkness, mystery, and the macabre. Each entry reveals the history and evolution of language while showing how societies have given names to unsettling experiences and ideas. From forgotten expressions to surprisingly strange origins, the book demonstrates how vocabulary preserves traces of cultural fears and superstitions. A fascinating choice for readers who enjoy etymology, folklore, language, and the darker corners of linguistic history.
