History and haunting seems to go hand-in-hand and Corydon,as the first state capital of Indiana, has a heaping helping of both. Ghosts: On the Square . . . and Elsewhere . . . . is a collection of ghostly tales inspired by locations around the historic town square and other locations throughout Harrison County. If you like ghosts, history or a combination of both, this is the book for you!
I wish I could say this took me a long time to read because it was spooky, but it was just difficult to get through. Most of the stories barely held my attention, not because the writing was poor, but because they all seemed to lack something. They read like first drafts, and that let me down. My favorites were the poems, and the story second from last called "Buffalo Trace". That one seemed to be really well developed, and I wanted to hear more. it was the only one that made me curious about the characters; I felt like I could get to know Sue Beth and really like her if it was just a little longer. Of all the stories and poems, none of them were bad, just lacking. With work, they could all be great pieces, I think.
