Storyteller James Gay Jones has compiled a wonderful collection of tales in Appalachian Ghost Stories. A teacher at Glenville State College, Jones collected some stories from his students, and some from parents and relatives, which were told over slow burning winter fires. Usually attributed to specific counties and locales in West Virginia, these tales are especially interesting to natives of the state. With titles such as Ramp Power, A Hog Cried in Upshur, and Invasion of the Green Monsters, these stories hold strong appeal for Mountaineers. Give this book a try, and feel those chills up your spine and hear ghostly voices in your dreams.

The first in the four volume classic series by James Gay Jones.
