Phantasmagoria and Other Poems
by Lewis Carroll
Phantasmagoria is a narrative discussion written in seven cantos between a ghost (Phantom) and a man named Tibbets. Carroll's ghostly depiction isn't that different from humans. They may flaunt and hum their chains, but like us, they just have a job to do, and that job is the chase. Just like in our society, there is a hierarchy in the ghost society, and the ghosts (because they have different ghost schemes, the narrator says) correspond to the king to be addressed as your "Royal Whiteness".
