"Will intrigue readers eager for a Southern Gothic tale, and suggests a promising future for the Black Mountain novels to come."—Publisher's Weekly
"Multiple female narrators add dimension and perspective to Hite's first novel, and the sightings and visits from the spirits are often appropriately eerie . . . [An] artfully woven tale." --Library Journal
"The inhabitants of Black Mountain live side-by-side with the spirits of the
dead, throw spells and dig for treasure, solve their problems with careful
alliances and the occasional murder. This is a story where the spookiness of a
mountain village comes to life through gritty characters whose feelings and
motivations seem all too similar to our own. Ann Hite captures their voices so
well, you'd swear they're whispering into your ear. "Ghost on Black Mountain" is
captivating."
-Rebecca Coleman author of The Kingdom of Childhood
"From the moment I started reading "Ghost On Black Mountain," Nellie Pritchard
walked into my heart and took up residence. And she didn't come alone. Others
followed.
Like the mountain itself - populated with strong women,
restless spirits, and unspeakable secrets - once this story gets in your blood,
you can never really leave it."
--Kathleen M. Rodgers, award-winning author
of "The Final Salute"
"Haunting, dark and unnerving, Hite's brilliant modern gothic casts an
unbreakable spell."

You
