These shivery tales were collected from the oral tradition, from people all over the Southwest, and represent the rich cultural diversity of the region. Old favorites such as "Mary Calhoun" and "The Vanishing Hitchhiker" are here, along with the ghostly mother who keeps her baby supplied with milk, the haunted mansion which was the model for Scarlet O'Hara's Tara, and stories laced with truly black humor. This is the perfect entertainment for summer camp, Halloween parties, and long car rides through the mesas and mountains of the American Southwest.
