Spooky South
Surprisingly enough, these are not well-known ghost stories. The Bell Witch is familiar to me, but not this particular version. And I've heard of Plat-Eyes and Wampus Cats, but these tales are new twists, too. The book was just okay, not as detailed as I was expecting. I believe the author mainly got her information from books, instead of enlisting local color, which is a shame. Stories come to life when recited by someone who was raised on them. Oh well. At least I didn't invest much time in the reading of it. I won't be wasting my time reading any of the others. The second half is more believable than the first half, maybe just because the devil always seems so close. My favorite tale was probably the one about the fiddler, though.
Oh, and the map is wrong. They have Maryville listed as West of Knoxville, and Knoxville too far North. Shoddy job. How do books like this get printed? There's a whole series of them!
