Coffin Hollow and Other Ghost Tales

Oh no! Ruth Ann Musick has written another stirring volume of the ghastly and unexplained. Mysteriously vanishing hitchhikers, travelers beset by headless dogs, and long-dead moonshiners come alive in this collection of ninety-six Appalachian folktales. Set in coalmines and remote farm cabins, in hidden hollows and on mountaintops, some of these stories look back to the days when West Virginia was first settled; others reflect the rancor and brutality of the Civil War. Simply said, this is a hauntingly exceptional masterpiece. The University Press of Kentucky.
