"Dark-Thirty" by Patricia C. McKissack is a collection of eerie and engaging stories that explore African American folklore and ghost legends. Set in the backdrop of the rural South, each tale reflects themes of bravery, family, and the supernatural. The stories are interconnected by the concept of "dark-thirty," a time when the spirits are believed to be most active. Through rich storytelling and vivid imagery, McKissack captures the voices of those who confront fear and the unknown, inviting readers to delve into a world where the past and present intertwine, leaving a lasting impact on young readers.
