{"product_id":"9781643360355","title":"South Carolina Ghosts: From the Coast to the Mountains","description":"Nancy Roberts has often been described to as the \"First Lady of American Folklore\" and the title is well deserved. Throughout her decades-long career, Roberts documented supernatural experiences and interviewed hundreds of people about their recollections of encounters with the supernatural.\u003cp\u003eThis nationally renowned writer began her undertaking in this ghostly realm as a freelance writer for the \u003ci\u003eCharlotte Observer\u003c\/i\u003e. Encouraged by Carl Sandburg, who enjoyed her stories and articles, Roberts wrote her first book in 1958. Aptly called a \"custodian of the twilight zone\" by \u003ci\u003eSouthern Living\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, Roberts based her suspenseful stories on interviews and her rich knowledge of American folklore. Her stories were always rooted in history, which earned her a certificate of commendation from the American Association of State and Local History for her books on the Carolinas and Appalachia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of South Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46310399803633,"sku":"9781643360355","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781643360355_p0.jpg?v=1764975847","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781643360355","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
