Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jimmy called me about two weeks after we helped them at the mine up on the hill. They had fourteen people killed in an explosion under their mine. That happen back in 1945, but it wasn’t a mine explosion. They killed 14 kids that worked in that mine and tried to make it look like it was an explosion. So we had to go back in there and try to find all of them, but without the help of Charlie, we never would have found them because Charlie came through the ground to get help after twenty years. Charlie was a ghost. So when Jimmy called me, it kind of surprised me because I hadn’t talked to him in a while, but he said they needed some help on this one. I said, “Help on what?” He said, “Looks like another place, they say they have ghost in it.” I said, “You have got to be kidding me. Where are these things coming from?” He said, “It looks like they are telling the others who helped them the last time, and so you got elected to come to them.” “Me? it’s your job to help those people. I don’t work in there anymore.” I asked him, “Has Hank got back from school yet?” He said, “Yes, and he can’t do anything with them. They are mean, very mean.” “And where are they at?” He said, “In West Virginia.” I asked him, “Are you going to be there this time with us? I do want Hank there.” Jimmy told me, “We can have anyone that I want to be there.” I ask him, “Can you get Charlie?” He said, “Now there are some things I can’t do. If I could bring him back from the dead, I would sure have him there helping you.” I said, “Yeah, I would to. When do you want me there?” “Tomorrow morning if you can get there.” “Okay, have my crew there, we might need them.”

Book excerpt: Ghosts of the Coal Field is Rebecca Solomon's fourth book of short ghost stories. Set in the coal mining region of western Kentucky, these tales are filled with plenty of shivers. Several of them are about old coal mines where strange happenings cause some people to shy away. Other folks are intrigued and determined to explore, to their misfortune. Could a coal mine be dug all the way to Satan's abode? Could a mine site be so cursed that it actually threatens the lives of the workers? Could rivalry and violence between workers lead to a years- long haunting? Not all the stories take place in coal mines; this area is home to all kinds of "haints." Among them was the lady who cherished her flowers so much she even tended them and didn't want to share so much as a cutting even after death. There is one about a young witch who is being sabotaged by a vindictive cohort. No matter your taste in ghosts, you'll find something in this volume to keep you awake at night.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its heyday, Thurber was home to coal miners and brick plant workers from Italy, Poland, and as many as fourteen other European nations, not to mention the many Mexican immigrants who came to the area. In this, her master’s thesis, Mary Jane Gentry, who started the first grade in Thurber and graduated as valedictorian of its high school in 1930, records first-hand memories of the town’s vibrant charm. Now edited and with an introduction by T. Lindsay Baker, Gentry’s lively history of the rise and decline of a Texas coal town provides a unique window into a bygone era. Her narrative of rancorous labor disputes, corporate machinations, and the eventual shuttering of the plants and virtual disappearance of the once-thriving town will allow Thurber to live again, if only in the minds of her readers.
