I am continuing my Halloween reads and getting a good start this year, as it’s just early September. However, it feels like fall now. The leaves are turning and the nights are cool.

I read this book as a child, along with the all the others written by Charles Edwin Price, and have them in my collection to this day. Since I had already read the book in its entirety, I just read the tales related directly related to Northeast Tennessee on this read through.

Perhaps the most interesting is the story of the Sensabaugh Tunnel in Kingsport, Tennessee. This a real place and a place I visited many times in college. The legend of the death of a baby, and the cries of its ghost, are found elsewhere, but this is where I originally read it. It clearly stuck with me as a child.

More Haunted Tennessee : A New Collection of Spine-Chilling Ghost and Monster Tales from the Volunteer State by Charles Edwin Price is a collection of Southern ghost stories and actual accounts as told to Work Progress Administration (WPA) Federal Writer’s Project from 1936 - 1940. I really enjoyed reading these stories; some of them were humorous and some were downright frightening. I found this gem in the public library. This book is suitable for Young Adult readers and tweens. I’m looking forward to reading more of Price’s haunted books.

Mr. Price has a good writing style that makes this book a joy to read. It will keep you interested from cover to cover. The only drawback is that he mixes documented ghost cases with folk tales and old legends with no clear pattern. As one who enjoys documented stories of ghost sightings I found this aspect of this book a bit annoying. Still the book is great fun and if Mr. Price was willing to put a little more work into research he could be one of the great American writers of ghost stories.
