In this companion volume to the popular Ghost Dogs of the South, award-winning folklorist Randy Russell presents 22 original stories of cats who reach between the worlds of life and death. Each story is birthed from existing folklore, noted incidents of ghost cats, and first-person accounts. No mere compendium of reported incidents and sightings, this ghostly volume introduces the reader to the fuller circumstances and personalities of known encounters with cats who have landed on their feet in the afterlife.
In this haunting and entertaining volume, the reader is introduced to:
- The fearsome wampus cat of the southern Appalachians
- A helpful ghost cat in rural Kentucky who smells like soup
- A ghost cat who walks the sand in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with its own tail in its mouth
- A hungry cat in Tunica, Mississippi, who will eat your face
- A ghost cat in Williamsburg, Virginia, who finds lost items in time for a funeral
- A ghost cat that perpetually creates flashes of lightning in a tree in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
- A ghost cat who will keep you cooler (than you ever wanted to be) in the heat of summer in Climax, Georgia
- A cat that lives in a well in Charleston, South Carolina, and grants wishes in return for a little friendly company
