In the spirit of Chaucer's famed (italics) Canterbury Tales, West Virginia writer Mack Samples has produced an entertaining gem with his latest book, (italics and bold) The Devil's Tea Tables. The author has created a busload of gregarious travelers who share their strange and ghostly tales as they traverse the West Virginia hills. The stories tell about all kinds of strange dealings, some with horse traders, disturbed graves, kind hobos, vanishing moonshine, and fiddle-playing preachers. Many of the stories the author heard growing up along the Elk River. Sit back and read some mysterious tales about bygone days in the hills of West Virginia.
