Over its fifty-year existence, John F. Blair, Publisher, was known for its Southern folklore―its tales of ghosts, goblins, ghouls, spirits, witches, devils, phantoms, haunts, boogers, boo-daddies, plat-eyes, demons, apparitions, doppelgangers, banshees, disappearing hitchhikers, pirate legends, ghost dogs, dog ghosts, dogs who see ghosts . . . In recognition of its golden anniversary, the company published this volume of twenty stories culled from its folklore collections. Readers will likely be impressed at the timeless quality of the tales, some of which have never been out of print since they first appeared in the 1960s. And you may be surprised to learn of their broad appeal, the collections having sold a total of over six hundred thousand copies. Some of these tales are now being enjoyed by their third generation of readers.
