DESCRIPTION
Step inside the strange and fascinating world of Spiritualism with The Secrets of the Séance Society. Author and illustrator Lisa Perrin explores the rise of Spiritualism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries through the stories of famous and infamous mediums who claimed to communicate with the dead.
Lavishly illustrated with Victorian-inspired portraits, icons, and lettering, the book examines headline-making séances, unusual paranormal claims, and figures including the Fox sisters. Perrin approaches the history with a mix of research, respectful curiosity, and dark humor while also exploring why people have remained so fascinated by the possibility of contacting the dead.
The book also includes an illustrated medium's manual with instructions for holding a Victorian-style séance, plus an interactive Ouija board and removable planchette.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
