Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
How thin is the veil between myth and reality?
Haintsâ ghost stories are the legends and lore of the Cumberland Plateau. Using the Cumberland River, which winds its way through Brewster County as binding twine, Nash Black weaves yarns of the probable and the plausible. Scientific fact, recorded history, and ecological observation exist side by side with superstition, cultural folklore, and myths.
You will ask what is fact and what is fiction as each man tells his story according to his own understanding of the world of Haints. The stories are graphic examples of an oral tradition as old as the mountains of their origin when story telling was both an important means of passing on history and an eveningâs entertainment.
âWow, what a gripping, spell-binding collection.â
â Paula Vaccarino
âI read âDonât Go There,â and truly think it is a fantastic story, as it sounds so realistic.â
â Dr. Lynwood Montell, Ghosts Along the Cumberland: Deathlore of the Kentucky Foothills, Kentuckyâs Haunted Houses and Family Ghosts, and other collections.
