Dixie Spirits is a very good collection of well known and not so well known regional ghost stories. Christopher Coleman is a talented writer who tells the tales with a fresh new spin. I particularly appreciated the sympathetic treatment of African Americans and Indians in his version of the classic ghost stories. The best thing about these "true tales" is that you can visit every single place in the book. My only complaint is the way the book abruptly ends. There should have been an author's note or an index.
Great, but leave the lights on!October 24, 2002 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This was a great book about hauntings in the Southern States. This ranks up there with Katherine Tucker Windham (pardon the spelling) books. I really enjoyed it a lot. Some of the stories in this book are also in others that I have read and they match VERY closely. Get it, read it and you will love it!
