Book Description
Twelve year-old Rad Sergeant and his little brother Tyler live with their dad on his horse ranch. They are living every boy's fantasy until a rumor of a ghost living in the mountain behind their ranch is reported. Rad intends to find out if the ghost is real and enlists the help of his two best friends, Max Frost and Peter Logan, to help investigate. Before the story ends, the boys survive a tornado, Rad falls into a pit that nearly takes his life and they come face to face with the ghost. The characters of Mountain Valley are real kids dealing with every day problems who need fantasy occasionally. These kids know the simpler way of life, the enjoyment of church, helping friends and neighbors, and keeping their body's drug-free. Mountain Valley kids are dynamic characters that demonstrate real living, not the kind that carries one away on a broomstick.
Ghost on Black Mountain

Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
ONCE A PERSON LEAVES THE MOUNTAIN, THEY NEVER COME BACK, NOT REALLY. THEY’RE LOST FOREVER. Nellie Clay married Hobbs Pritchard without even noticing he was a spell conjured into a man, a walking, talking ghost story. But her mama knew. She saw it in her tea leaves: death. Folks told Nellie to get off the mountain while she could, to go back home before it was too late. Hobbs wasn’t nothing but trouble. He’d even killed a man. No telling what else. That mountain was haunted, and soon enough, Nellie would feel it too. One way or another, Hobbs would get what was coming to him. The ghosts would see to that. . . . Told in the stunning voices of five women whose lives are inextricably bound when a murder takes place in rural Depression-era North Carolina, Ann Hite’s unforgettable debut spans generations and conjures the best of Southern folk-lore—mystery, spirits, hoodoo, and the incomparable beauty of the Appalachian landscape.

The Haunted Mountain
Author: Robert E. Howard
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1473397987
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
This early work by Robert E. Howard was originally published in 1935 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Haunted Mountain' is a story in the Breckinridge Elkins series about a cowboy in the wild west. Robert Ervin Howard was born in Peaster, Texas in 1906. During his youth, his family moved between a variety of Texan boomtowns, and Howard - a bookish and somewhat introverted child - was steeped in the violent myths and legends of the Old South. At fifteen Howard began to read the pulp magazines of the day, and to write more seriously. The December 1922 issue of his high school newspaper featured two of his stories, 'Golden Hope Christmas' and 'West is West'. In 1924 he sold his first piece - a short caveman tale titled 'Spear and Fang' - for $16 to the not-yet-famous Weird Tales magazine. Howard's most famous character, Conan the Cimmerian, was a barbarian-turned-King during the Hyborian Age, a mythical period of some 12,000 years ago. Conan featured in seventeen Weird Tales stories between 1933 and 1936 which is why Howard is now regarded as having spawned the 'sword and sorcery' genre. The Conan stories have since been adapted many times, most famously in the series of films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
