Reseña del editor:
Haunter of Ruins: The Photography of Clarence John Laughlin brings together sixty-five of Laughlin's characteristic images, both classic and unpublished - an eerie gallery of French Quarter facades and ironwork, funerary sculpture, Spanish moss, and other details that summon up Louisiana gothic. Accompanied by selections from Laughlin's various writings and letters, as well as essays by six distinguished writers who share an affinity with the photographer's work, Haunter of Ruins is the only book currently available on this incomparable American original.
Reseña del editor:
Photographer Clarence John Laughlin (1905-1985) spen this entire career in and around New Orleans. Dubbed "Edgar Allan Poe with a camera", his haunting images captured -- like nothing before or since -- the weathered elegance and dreamy decadence of Louisiana's homes, streets, and cemeteries. In 1948, his book on Louisiana plantation architecture, Ghosts Along the Mississippi, vaulted him into the pantheon of great American photographers -- and went on to sell an astounding 100,000 copies.

This new volume, compiled by the Historic New Orleans Collection, brings together the best of the photographer's previously unpublishedimages -- an eerie gallery of French Quarter facades and ironwork, funerary sculpture, Spanish moss, and other details that summon up the Acadian gothic. With essay by six distinguished writers, Haunter of Ruins will be the only book currently available on this incomparable American original.
