Thirteen plus one short tales by nine different Appalachian authors, an uprooting of tradition with another just for fun.
A strong mix of history, speculation, and, perhaps, a wee bit of fear.
These hills are listenin, child, so come sit a spell.
Youll hear tales you aint before; dark yahoos, wishes gone wrong, veil walkers, and someones head might well roll.
Aint nothin really, just a few new stories you can take back to the holler and share with you and yours.
Maybe theyll shiver.
Maybe you will too.
And maybe, just maybe, youll hug someone tight when things get scary enough.
This is an anthology of nontraditional Appalachian ghost tales.
Its not that we dont like the classics.
Rather, were ready for something new.
By order of appearance: Part One: Short doesnt mean necessarily sweet.
