Haunted Subjects : Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis and the Return of the Dead (1st ed. 2007)

Why do the dead return? Do they remain part of the world of the living? This book examines these questions as they emerge in areas as diverse as film, Holocaust testimony, and the works of Jacques Derrida, Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok.

The book suggests it may be as difficult for the living to get rid of the dead as it is to live without them.
