The Night Parade: Festivals of Spirits, Masks, and the Dead
by Ella Marks

Beneath the glow of lanterns and the shimmer of firelight, every culture gathers to honor the invisible - to dance with the dead and remember the rhythm that unites all life. The Night Parade is a haunting and beautiful journey through the world's most powerful festivals of spirits, from Samhain and D a de los Muertos to Obon and the Wild Hunt.

Drawing on centuries of folklore, religion, and anthropology, Ella Marks explores how humanity celebrates death not as an ending but as transformation. Through masks, music, and fire, these sacred nights reveal the oldest truth of all - that love and memory endure beyond time.

Richly atmospheric and deeply evocative, this book brings to life the rituals that blur the boundary between the living and the dead, showing how each festival, no matter how distant, carries the same message: to honor death is to celebrate life.
