Smoky Mountain Ghostlore edition by Juanitta Baldwin Literature Fiction eBooks
I bought this book because I love the Smokies, I like reading regional folklore, and this author is the co-author of a great little book on unsolved disappearances set in the Smokies. So, I thought that this would bring all those elements together for me in one place. Disappointingly, this is not a great book.Although the tales are mainly set in the Tennessee and North Carolina range, they are not all true "Smoky" tales. No biggie. The writing is not always well done. Sometimes, the grammar and syntax suffer. There are often confusing misuses of pronouns (e.g., which "he" is the author referring to?). Some of the tales are not "ghost" tales (e.g., the tale of the rescue-cow, or tips for shopping for haunted junk on E-Bay), and many are presented without any of the detail or context that makes a good yarn. Most of the entries are in the 3-4 page range, so while they are quick hits, they leave the reader a little empty. Finally, the author is a bit too interested in the supernatural/occult for my taste. I prefer reading about regional ghost tales and folklore for the sake of the stories themselves and what they represent about local legend and culture, rather than trying to determine whether such tales are true. For what I was looking for (see above), there are better titles.

Smoky Mountain Ghostlore edition by Juanitta Baldwin Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
It was fun to read I only wish it was longer.
Good quick read. Interesting if you are interested in the folklore if the Smoky Mountains
Smoky Mountain Ghostlore was a wonderful book to read. It was captivating as well as exciting to read. I am a person who love's the mountains and love ghost stories. Juanitta Baldwin is a excellent writer and knows how to capture your mind in her books.
This book includes several interesting stories. It was an enjoyable, easy read for a lazy afternoon home alone.
I was distracted by a few minor punctuation errors, but otherwise am pleased with this purchase.
I loved this book! It reminded me of all the scary stories of when I was a little girl in Dover, Tennessee. My grandma always would tell us about the headless horseman in the corn fields and we would be so scared to go out to the out house at night.
If you have ever read Juanita Baldwin, you know her fast, no nonsense way of laying out the facts. No superfluous information, just the facts, quick reads, and genuine chills because she doesn't try to enhance the flavor. Something about the way she writes, short and to the point, makes the true stories all the more real.
The author's book on Unsolved Disappearances is a worthy read, but I was a bit disappointed with this one following the reading of it. It's okay if you just want to read about local stories and legends as told to the author, but it was not my cup of tea. I bought it because I usually love any books about the Smokies. There were a couple of mistakes, but most of it was well written, just not as interesting as the first book of hers I read. I loved that one.
