Go with McAllister into the Blue Ridge mountains as he chats with Roosevelt Mullinax, an old-time moonshiner. The author tracks down the Green Spider and listens to him tell about his days as a professional wrestler: "They're all fixed and they always have been. We planned the matches on the way to wherever we were going." The author considers himself a bit of an expert on barbecue in the South. He'll introduce you to some self-styled barbecue experts such as Andy Griffith and Fred Cone. There's the story of the football coach in Texas who has to come up to Carolina for a load of barbecue and Cheerwine every few months to keep from starving to death. There are two stories in this book about Alice Flagg, whose ghost still haunts the coastal marshland of the South. Clarke Willcox sits on the front porch of the Hermitage, the house where Alice died, and remembers the tales of Alice, the most famous of the southern ghosts. You'll meet with bandleader Charlie Spivak, a converted southerner, and hear him talk about the Big Band days as he mourns for his murdered friend, Charlie Russo. JE McTeer, the only white witch doctor in the country, says: "I was raised in an atmosphere of Voo-Doo. I saw people die from hexes put on them. I began to wonder if they couldn't be saved."
