North
Carolina's ancient Uwharrie Mountains look stately and beautiful in the
daylight, but when the sun goes down, nightmarish secrets reveal
themselves.
The
title story tells of a graveyard that can't hold those buried in it, as
the dead revolt against the lack of respect they receive from the
living. Another tells the legend of a prospector who returns from the
grave to take revenge on his murderers. In one story, a ghostly white
deer moves silently through the woods, stalking hunters. In another, a
benevolent man suffers a curse from a witch shortly before his death;
sure enough, his ghost turns evil. Then there's the murderous specter
called Indian Joe, who thrives on the fear of humans about to die
violently.
Those of us who know and love
the Uwharries, as well as those who just love spooky stories, won't be
able to put down Morgan's latest collection.
