Publisher's summary

Seven tales of terror that could only beat in the dark, diseased heart of Dixie....

An abandoned furnace stands as a monument to cruelty and torture...as well as a gathering place for old ghosts....

Grandma's culinary gifts of comfort and compassion contain a special ingredient conjured from the very depths of Hell....

A man's stubborn curiosity awakens an insatiable hunger on a lonesome country road....

A surprise feature plays on the big screen of a drive-in theatre, revealing a town gathering that should have been left in secrecy and darkness....

Two boys explore a traveler's mobile museum of cinematic horrors, only to discover that true horror is not always what it first appears to be....

Grandpa's Christmas Eve story brings a yuletide visit from a wandering ghost with a long-unfulfilled mission....

It started out as nothing more than a shortcut home... a detour through a shadowy stretch of forest known as Tanglewood. But what awaited him there, amid the brush and bramble, made a simple flat tire seem like a horrifying journey into madness....

Cumberland Furnace & Other Fear Forged Fables

There were some decent stories in here, but none of them really caught my imagination.

Why do I have to listen to stories I’ve already heard ??

Good stories but if you buy most of his books he puts some of the same ones in multiple books!!! Why should I pay to own more than one of each story???

Spoiler alert not for children

I enjoyed the first two stories but the third story pissed me off it involved a dog being sacrificed. I wish I could have given it a lower score. I received this book at my request and I wish I didn't. I am leaving my honest review here voluntarily. Do not bother
