A haunting book filled with a mix of sorrowful and horrific tales from Appalachian authors. I enjoyed all of the stories found in this collection. My favorite story is The Adventure of the Greenbrier Ghost by Jonathan Maberry, who utilized Sherlock Holmes to retell one of West Virginia's most famous ghost stories, The Greenbrier Ghost. LOL, but yes, I squeed when I started that story!

Dancing in Time to the Beating Heart of the World by Mark Justice, An Angel in the Balcony by Brian J. Hatcher, and Andi by Mary SanGiovanni left me melancholic because the stories play off emotions revolving around children. I'm an infertile woman - those stories made my own internal wounds sting.
