Spooky tales from Charleston's African-American community, back in print at last! Rolling Rio, who wrestled with Death and won. "And since that day Death has always leaned a little to one side." The thirsty dead of Trapman Street Hospital--dying for a drink. The day the dead sat up and sang in their graves. Margot Lagoux, who bargained away her own skin to save her daughter. Conjure men and mermaids; a Devil who sometimes protects the innocent, and the Doctor to the Dead--obsessed with the death of Death.
