In the Company of Ghosts is an amalgamation of creative and academic texts centring on The Poetics of the Motorway... learned and creative individuals have gathered texts to investigate a proposal originally put forward by Edward Chell and Andrew Taylor to explore those Ghosts that walk the motorways of the UK. The result is a fascinating examination of a motorway network  described by Chell (Senior Lecturer in Fine Art, UCA, Canterbury) as '...the service roads and hard shoulders of our six-lane network. These arterial routes leave clues to villages buried, desire lines severed and wild places defiled. They echo to the chants and broken glasses of football coaches, road racers and un-belted joy riders, or the sighs of furtive love making in cramped Ford Escorts parked on ‘dead roads’. Echoes, after-images or ‘ghosts’ resonate: the soft underbelly of a world so close.' The contributors identify and celebrate these differing ghosts.'

The collection is 176 pages of perfect bound words and photographs that will stimulate the mind and will make any thinking individual look afresh at the roads which they may have, until now, passed over without a second thought for the Ghosts that surround them.
