Haunter of ruins

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Photography of Clarence John Laughlin brings together sixty-five of Laughlin's characteristic images, both classic and unpublished - an eerie gallery of French Quarter facades and ironwork, funerary sculpture, Spanish moss, and other details that summon up Louisiana gothic.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.
