Shadows and Cypress: Southern Ghost Stories

Rating:
Summary: I DONT RECOMMEND THIS ONE!
Review: Ive read quite a few ghost story books the past few months and I found this to be one of lesser quality. The author uses actual dialect with the storytellers accent, I found it most annoying making it a hard read at times.( I dont speak or read southern backwoods uneducated jibberish!! ) Some of the stories told were interesting, although I much prefer real ghost accounts over urban legend type. Instead read any of the books by Troy Taylor, Coast to Coast Ghosts, or Ghosts Of Key West.

Summary: Ghost Stories Galore
Review: Shadows and Cypress: Southern Ghost Stories is the best collection of ghost stories I've seen. Many have been gathered from the old WPA collections, and many have been collected in the oral tradition. Dr. Brown is an expert on the classification of folk lore. His expertise in this area is evident. The collection includes selections suitable for use by all ages.
