A collection of short stories from three talented authors exploring ghosts and hauntings by drawing upon African and African-American ancestral myths and beliefs. In Brandon Massey's ""The Patriarch"" a young writer travels to the hushed backwoods of Mississippi, where dangerous secrets surface. In L.A. Banks' ""Ev'ry Shut Eye Ain't Sleep"" a man is haunted by violent visions - until he is given the chance to right the wrongs of the past. Finally, in Due's ""Ghost Summer"", ancestors haunt the nights of two children - making a mark on both the dead and the living.
