Ghosts and Skeletons is written by Erin E. MacDonald and published by McFarland. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1476622353 (ISBN 10) and 9781476622354 (ISBN 13).
The author examines Ian Rankin's use of the gothic convention of the ghost in Black and Blue, Dead Souls, Set in Darkness, and "The Very Last Drop." In these works, ghosts and skeletons are used as metaphors for Detective Inspector John Rebus's guilt over past mistakes and for the dark past of his home city, Edinburgh.
