3.0 out of 5 stars
More gossip than ghosts.,
By Dennis Phillips "The Book Friar" (Bulls Gap, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Haunted Tennessee (Paperback)
Charles Edwin Price has written several books dealing with various supernatural subjects and I have generally enjoyed his books. This book like many of his other works however contains several stories that really do not belong. The title leads on to assume this is a book about Tennessee ghosts and there are indeed some ghost stories to be found within its covers. The ghost stories are interesting and well written but a little shallow and lacking in research. Still, the stories are enjoyable and are fun to read.Price however devotes way too much of his book to folklore and urban legends. He is quite caught up in Cherokee folklore and these tails, while interesting, do not belong in this book. Neither do the urban legends like the one about the rotting corpse that closely parallels the legend of the man with a hook for a hand. There is even a chapter that basically confuses Elvis' possible ghost with an Elvis impersonator. "Did the woman really see Elvis' ghost," he asks or did she see an impersonator? Does the fact there was a convention of Elvis imitators in town answer that question or not? I think that maybe Price was reaching just a little for material on that one. When he does impart ghost stories they are good, but too much effort and space is wasted on other things. I've said it before and I'll probably say it again but if Price ever concentrates on reliable recent first person accounts and forgets this other stuff, his books will be much better. The ability and style are there if he would just get rid of all of the old legends and folklore.
