 Written by Patricia C. McKissack, this Newberry Honor Book has spine-tingling folk tales of black Americana.  It's a good read -- an oversized paperback.  From the back cover:

"The Dark-Thirty is a collection of original stories rooted in African-American history and the oral storytelling tradition. They should be told at that special time when it is neither day nor night and when shapes and shadows play tricks on the mind. When you feel fear tingling in your toes and zinging up your spine like a closing zipper, then you have experienced the delicious horror of a tale of the dark-thirty."
