Photographer Shannon Taggart examines spiritualism--its history and present-day practices--through the camera's eye in Séance, an eerily beautiful, exquisite and unsettling book of photos and essays centered around the spiritualist community of Lily Dale, N.Y. This redesigned reissue, which includes a foreword by comedic actor and fourth-generation spiritualist Dan Aykroyd, features vintage photos from Lily Dale's past and essays by artists Andreas Fischer and Tony Oursler on "the powerful influence they released on the field of fine arts." Taggart's own photos of mediums and artifacts have an otherworldly, off-kilter luminosity. She thoroughly documents the stories and spiritualistic techniques portrayed in each image. This beautiful, engrossing tribute from a true believer is a testament to American spiritualism's continued popularity. --Jaclyn Fulwood, blogger at Infinite Reads
