About the author
David E. Harkins is the author of Haunted Graveyards of the Ozarks, published by the History Press in 2013, a collection of ghost stories and local legend tied to cemeteries throughout the Ozark region. The book moves between well-tended urban cemeteries and forgotten rural family plots, gathering stories that range from Civil War-era hauntings at Greenbrier to accounts connected to a local mass murderer, presenting each as part of the region's folklore rather than as verified history. Harkins writes in the regional ghost-history format common to History Press titles, organizing the book around specific named cemeteries and the stories attached to them rather than around a single narrative or argument. The book is aimed at readers with an interest in Ozark folklore and cemetery history, and at those drawn to true-account style ghost stories tied to identifiable places rather than to fiction or academic folklore studies.
