Nancy Rhyne's first
collection of stories, Tales of the
South Carolina Low Country, was an award-winning book. Now she
has given us another collection of fascinating tales, and like the
first, it is a winner. Once again the author has mined the rich folklore
of South Carolina. The twenty-two stories in this collection show the
Low Country region as it was more than two hundred years ago and as it
is today.
Here you will find an
assortment of strangely eerie but wonderfully entertaining stories. Some
of the tales will have you laughing out loud. Others will make your
spine tingle and your pulse race. Still others will guarantee that you
leave your nightlight on after reading them.
Look for the tragic story of
the young girl who was buried alive on Edisto Island more than a century
ago. Read about Clark Gable's visit to Hampton Plantation, where he
witnessed scenes that were later incorporated into Gone With the Wind.
And find out what happened to the talk-show host who recently allowed a
pair of witches to put a spell on him. You will read these and the other
nineteen stories with pleasure time after time.
