Ghosts in the Graveyard: Texas Cemetery Tales

Are you looking for a great Halloween book to read? Why not explore the cryptic things happening in the cemeteries of Texas?

Author Olyve Hallmark Abbott wrote "Ghosts in the Graveyard" Texas Cemetery Tales with the aim of sharing "folk stories" and personal experiences about the cemeteries in Texas. It is written from the point of view of the author. In this book, she gives information such as the background of the grave (history of the deceased buried within), as well as a description of mysterious things happening in the grave (if there are).

ABOUT THE BOOK

One would consider it a non-fiction book -- the author presented facts and figures -- but also with a little bit of dramatic interpretation from the author itself.

"Ghosts in the Graveyard" Texas Cemetery Tales is a book for general reading. Those who wish to delve deeper into the environment, history, and culture of Texas will surely find a lot of interesting anecdotes in this collection.

The author's writing style is definitely clear and descriptive. Ninety spine-chilling tales, many of which she offers a conclusion that is likely to tickle the imagination and encourage the reader to wonder what might be. Not too formal with words, she writes in a conversational way that all readers will easily understand.

Perhaps the most convincing stories in the book were the ones told by Olyve Hallmark Abbott herself. A good example is the tale of the glowing stone in a grave at Veal Station. Here, the author herself was present to prove the rumor about the singular glowing stone head of a grave. A picture of this mysterious glowing stone was shown in the book.
