The article centers upon a short story The July Ghost written by a contemporary British writer A.S. Byatt. The short story is analyzed in terms of the genre of a ghost story. The theoretical framework is Jacques Derrida’s theory of hauntings as well as Lacanian and Freudian theories. The authors investigate the features of the ghost story genre and some peculiar features of the story that appear to be deviations from the genre. Philosophical approach and psychoanalysis help to understand the idea of the story and to go deep into the poetics of it.
