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.
Presents and eight-course banquet of ghost stories centering around Chinese cooking and culture. Each story is followed by a recipe and historical notes.
"These dozen ghost stories, some chilling, some funny, all surprising, were written especially for the collection by some of America's finest authors."--Backcover.
