In the first of this series,The Vagrant (Southern Hauntings Saga)Bryan Hall introduces us to Crate - a man with a past and the ability to see ghosts.  In this installment, Hall takes Crate to the Great Smoky Mountains - into the country where I grew up.  Hall nails the descriptions of the mountains and the people exactly the way I remember them.In The Girl, Crate is hired to help a young girl cross over.  Yet there is much more to help with, once Crate arrives at the mountain home.  There is a dark secret that will have to be revealed before Crate can fully do his job.  Hall throws twists and curves throughout this novella that would rival the winding roads of any mountainside.The Girl is a spooky exploration into not just haunting and ghosts, but also human behavior.  Bryan Hall is quickly becoming a master of the Southern Gothic horror genre and I expect to see his works mentioned in the same breath as Michael McDowell, who helped define the genre.
