Summary
A collection of ghost stories with African American themes, designed to be told during the Dark Thirty--the half hour before sunset--when ghosts seem all too believable.
Note
Illustrations: "The artwork in this book was done in scratchboard, a technique in which a white board is covered with black ink. The ink is then scratched off with a sharp tool to reveal the white underneath. Color for the jacket was added with oil pastels, which were rubbed into the scratched lines."
