Henry Coxton, a fledgling occult detective with one too many secrets of his own, has recently taken up stewardship of a ghost finding firm in the heart of Edwardian London. Along with his friends and associates, Violet Asquith (a telekinetic with a mysterious and troubled past) and Christopher X (a difficult but amiable monster), Henry must work to solve the agency’s most terrifying case. Secrets from the pasts of all three detectives begin to surface and threaten the group’s bond of friendship, as well as—it would seem—the very fabric of reality. Strongly influenced by the weird fictions of Algernon Blackwood, Lord Dunsany and M.R. James, The Ghost Finders explores the darkest corners of London’s occult realities.

Artists have worked from home for many reasons, including care duties, financial or political constraints, or availability and proximity to others. From the 'home studios' of Charles and Ray Eames, to the different photographic representations of Robert Rauschenberg's studio, this book explores the home as a distinct site of artistic practice, and the traditions and developments of the home studio as concept and space throughout the 20th and into the 21st century. Using examples from across Europe and the Anglophone world between the mid-20th century and the present, each chapter considers the different circumstances for working at home, the impact on the creative lives of the artists, their identities as artists and on the work itself, and how, sometimes, these were projected and promoted through photographs and the media. Key themes include the gendered and performative aspects of women practising 'at home', collaborative studio communities of the 1970s – 90s including the appropriation of abandoned spaces in East London, and the effects of Covid on artistic practices and family life within the spaces of 'home'. The book comprises full-length chapters by artists, architects, art and design historians, each of whom bring different perspectives to the issues, interwoven with short interviews with artists to enrich and broaden the debates. At a time when individual relationships to home environments have been radically altered, The Artist at Home considers why some artists in previous decades either needed to or chose to work from home, producing work of vitality and integrity. Tracing this long tradition into the present, the book will provide a deeper understanding of how the home studio has affected the practices and identity of artists working in different countries, and in different circumstances, from the mid-20th century to the present.
