Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 5^-12. "A bony white hand reached up out of the grave and grasped the hem of her dress!" From witch lore to monster yarns, this wonderful collection combines the gruesome with the laconic. The Youngs, who have other popular horror anthologies to their credit, are masterful storytellers, who combine unobtrusive scholarship about folklore and sources, with exciting stories of severed heads and bloody bones. They include "stone-cold favorites" about vanishing riders and boogers and blights and also lesser-known ghost jokes and twisted tales that make the world uncertain. It all seems very close: "It happened one night, on a night like this." Does that statue in the graveyard really move? The Ozark setting is immediate, and so is the universal appeal of tales that have always held people in delicious terror "when the winds blow cold across the ground and the leaves blow along the trail." There are no pictures; just the words to make us shiver. Teens will grab this to read and tell, so will librarians and teachers. Hazel Rochman

3.0 out of 5 stars
my middle school grandkids loved it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ozark Ghost Stories (American Storytelling) (Paperback)
This tape is a hoot! My visiting grandkids, age 10 and 15 (girl and boy) listened to it at least 4 times, repeating all the funny or scary parts by memory and waiting for the next favorite part to come along so they could join in. As we drove back to the airport they listened right up to the last second, wanting to cram in every word they could to memory.
