Summary

BEYOND the DARKNESS looks into The Supernatural in Society, Culture, and History with Professor Marc Eaton.

In the twenty-first century, as in centuries past, stories of the supernatural thrill and terrify us. But despite their popularity, scholars often dismiss such beliefs in the uncanny as inconsequential, or even embarrassing.
The supernatural is an indelible part of our social world that deserves sincere scholarly attention.
Professor Eaton explores the cultural value of such beliefs and practices.

Marc Eaton is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Ripon College, in Wisconsin.
