Meet the shrieking spirit of Crab Boy lost to a fierce marsh creature, an ingenious slave matching wits with his plantation owner, and the unique inhabitants of isolated Sandy Island. These are “ghosts” of the African-American Gullah culture once so alive along the South Carolina coast. This selection (10,000 words, four illustrations—approximately 40 pages if it were a paperback) of charming Gullah stories and folktales, including one actual ghost story, as well as observations on Gullah history and culture, comes from Lynn Michelsohn’s longer work, “Tales from Brookgreen,” stories from the South Carolina Lowcountry.
