![]() ![]() ![]() KATE SUMMERSCALE: It occurred to me that I would like to write about a haunting. Can you tell me a little bit about what led you to Alma and Nandor’s story? SCOTT NEUMYER: You’ve told some incredibly interesting tales from various fields in your previous books. Shondaland recently caught up with Summerscale via Zoom to chat about her new book, believing in ghosts and spirits, how the events in The Haunting of Alma Fielding actually relate to the present day, and so much more. ![]() Fascinating and spooky at just the right times, The Haunting of Alma Fielding is, without a doubt, a success. It is not only a well-told tale, but also one that resonates because of its strong leading characters and their relationship to each other, as well as the events happening around London back then. Told through the eyes of Hungarian ghost hunter Nandor Fodor, The Haunting of Alma Fielding relies heavily on the author’s tireless research to tell a story about mental health, trauma, agency, and psychic research. Employing her trademark introspection and deft ability to turn the most terrifying events into beautiful prose, Summerscale tackles the 1938 case of Alma Fielding and the series of seemingly supernatural events that began occurring at her London residence. ![]() The author’s new book, The Haunting of Alma Fielding, however, is her first foray into the world of the supernatural.
