When it is neither day nor night, when shadows lurk and folks scurry home before the ghosts come out, storytelling takes on a spectral cast. During that special half-hour of twilight--the dark-thirty --pick one of these spine-tingling tales and savor it... -A white bus driver who refuses a ride to a penniless black woman later encounters her ghost. -Phantom pictures etched on the windowpanes of a man's house proclaim his guilt in a lynching. -A retired Pullman porter hears a ghostly whistle and knows it's the last train he'll ever ride. Mesmerizing and breathtakingly original, these tales are inspired by African American history and range from the time of slavery to the civil rights era of the twentieth century. With her extraordinary gift for suspense and her sure sense of storytelling, Patricia C. McKissack has created a heart-stopping collection of lasting value, a book not quickly forgotten.
