Book excerpt: Ghosts of the Coal Field is Rebecca Solomon's fourth book of short ghost stories. Set in the coal mining region of western Kentucky, these tales are filled with plenty of shivers. Several of them are about old coal mines where strange happenings cause some people to shy away. Other folks are intrigued and determined to explore, to their misfortune. Could a coal mine be dug all the way to Satan's abode? Could a mine site be so cursed that it actually threatens the lives of the workers? Could rivalry and violence between workers lead to a years- long haunting? Not all the stories take place in coal mines; this area is home to all kinds of "haints." Among them was the lady who cherished her flowers so much she even tended them and didn't want to share so much as a cutting even after death. There is one about a young witch who is being sabotaged by a vindictive cohort. No matter your taste in ghosts, you'll find something in this volume to keep you awake at night.

The mines are dark, dangerous places to work or even to walk into.

Would you put your life on the line to go into the darkness of the underground to bring men dead or alive back to their families? Could you fight the unthinkable to do what is right?

Callahan, Jr., offers a history of how coal miners and their families lived their religion in eastern Kentucky's coal fields during the early 20th century. Callahan follows coal miners and their families from subsistence farming to industrial coal mining as they draw upon religious idioms to negotiate changing patterns of life and work. He traces innovation and continuity in religious expression that emerged from the specific experiences of coal mining, including the spaces and social structures of coal towns, the working bodies of miners, the anxieties of their families, and the struggle toward organized labor. Building on oral histories, folklore, folksongs, and vernacular forms of spirituality, this rich and engaging narrative recovers a social history of ordinary working people through religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jimmy called me about two weeks after we helped them at the mine up on the hill. They had fourteen people killed in an explosion under their mine. That happen back in 1945, but it wasn’t a mine explosion. They killed 14 kids that worked in that mine and tried to make it look like it was an explosion. So we had to go back in there and try to find all of them, but without the help of Charlie, we never would have found them because Charlie came through the ground to get help after twenty years. Charlie was a ghost. So when Jimmy called me, it kind of surprised me because I hadn’t talked to him in a while, but he said they needed some help on this one. I said, “Help on what?” He said, “Looks like another place, they say they have ghost in it.” I said, “You have got to be kidding me. Where are these things coming from?” He said, “It looks like they are telling the others who helped them the last time, and so you got elected to come to them.” “Me? it’s your job to help those people. I don’t work in there anymore.” I asked him, “Has Hank got back from school yet?” He said, “Yes, and he can’t do anything with them. They are mean, very mean.” “And where are they at?” He said, “In West Virginia.” I asked him, “Are you going to be there this time with us? I do want Hank there.” Jimmy told me, “We can have anyone that I want to be there.” I ask him, “Can you get Charlie?” He said, “Now there are some things I can’t do. If I could bring him back from the dead, I would sure have him there helping you.” I said, “Yeah, I would to. When do you want me there?” “Tomorrow morning if you can get there.” “Okay, have my crew there, we might need them.”

This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book presents a range of chapters written by new and established authors, drawing on a range of different perspectives and traditions to critically analyse education, work and social change in the former coalfields. Historically, coal was one of Britain’s major industries, employing over a million men at its peak. But mining was more than an occupation - it was a way of life for those living and working in coalfield communities. Work, leisure, family relations and other dimensions of social life were centred upon the coal industry and its related institutions such as trade unions, working-men’s clubs and welfare institutes. These communities have, however, undergone significant social and economic change over time, not least in terms of the pain and suffering associated with the Great Strike of 1984–85, the successive waves of pit closures which took place thereafter and the eventual demise of the coal industry. The book will be of interest to academics drawing on sociology, social policy, history, geography and other subject disciplines.

Katie knows that something eerie is happening in the old, deserted town where she, her stepbrother, and her newly widowed mother are spending the summer taking care of Uncle Frank. Sometimes, when Katie puts her ear to the ground in Uncle Frank’s backyard, she hears a groaning noise that sounds almost human. But when a crippled ghost-girl appears to her out of the gloom in an abandoned mine, Katie is at once terrified and puzzled. Could the girl’s chilling appearance have something to do with a tragic mining accident thirty years before? In a fiery climax, Katie and her rebellious stepbrother learn the truth about the past and discover things about each other that strengthen their fragile relationship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our only sin was not having what they thought was enough. And being forced to take what they called help." Pain and anger resonate deeply in the voice of New Covenant Bound's central narrator. Forced from her homeland on the Tennessee River in the 1930s, she recounts the memory of upheaval and destruction caused by the Tennessee Valley Authority. The Western Kentucky area that now boasts beautiful, expansive bodies of water was once home to some 20,000 people, their houses, farms, townships and ancestral history. Residents were subjected to three waves of forced relocation to make way for Kentucky Lake in the 1930s, Lake Barkley in the 1950s, and Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area in the 1960s. Renowned poet T. Crunk intersperses narrative prose and vivid lyric verse to explore the devastation one family experienced in this often overlooked episode in Kentucky history. The voices of a grandmother and grandson speak to each other over time, evoking the relentless advance of irrevocable forces that changed the land, forever.
