Sidney's Cotton by Richard Parks was another short I liked. A lunar eclipse causing strange going on's in a Memphis Cemetery leading to ghosts who died of Yellow Fever in the epidemics of the 1800's to appear, what more could you ask for :) I really wanted to hear more of this story.

The writing style didn't pull me into the story and I wasn't sure what the rest of the anthology was going to be like from there but I am happy to say the next story was GREAT! An Eclipse over Elmwood by H.David Blalock was one of my favourite shorts. The story was a funny paranormal story but I just couldn't get into it.

Interview for a ghost hunter by Windsong Levitch- For an opening story of the anthology I was disappointed. Here are my thoughts on each short story: (I did debate whether to go with 4* but decided 3.5* fitted my overall thoughts on the book) To get my overall book rate I rated each story out of 5*'s and then decided on my final rating of 3.5. The cover art is creepy yet beautiful and at the start of each story is a piece of artwork that to me gives the reader a clue to what each story may be about which I loved. One of the things I liked about the book was of course not only the stories but the art work. However I have to admit I was disappointed with some of the stories but with is being an anthology I did expect to like some stories more that others :) I was excited to read it as I love Southern Gothic novels.
