Calico Ghosts

About the Book

Calico Ghosts is a collection of thirteen folksy Alabama ghost tales certain to put a delicious tingle down your spine. These stories are founded on truth, layered in history, dosed with creativity, pinched with horror and a smattered with humor.

A child who sees a black and tan coonhound reflected as her image in her mirror…romantic shape shifters…a magical spring in an enchanted wood…a man who can heal the sick and charm snakes with his music...an old book that whispers...a haunted attic...a ghost who weeps for her lost love…all woven together in one unique calico-quilt of a book.

Turn these pages for a stroll through the colorful world of Calico, Alabama.

P.S. Being a dedicated hands-on educator and firmly believing in interactive learning, Morrison has included no less than THIRTEEN ghostly errors in the text of this spooky little book for her readers to find. But like missed stitches in a CALICO quilt, there may be more! So just count those extras as "unique flaws in the quilting process."

About the Author

Morrison grew up on a “mystical” Alabama dairy farm where dogs talked, fairies danced, and her best childhood friend was an invisible creature named Noseplips. She weaves tales about her beloved Calico, delighting audiences with “deliciously frightening” ghost stories and enthralling listeners with sounds such as barking dogs, hissing banshees, and howling shape shifters. She often portrays characters such as a Victorian Lady, a safari guide, or a wild hillbilly woman. Morrison is called the pied piper of storytelling. Critics say. “There is magic in her voice and she mesmerizes the audience. She exudes fairy dust. We’d follow her anywhere, especially to her beloved Calico.”
