The Bookshelf, The Parlor, The Young Texas Reader, and the Monthly

The Texas Bookshelf is different from the The Texas Parlor, http://texasparlor.blogspot.com/ . The Texas Parlor carries "general" bookish information and non-book information and even different Texana news and notes of use to the bibliographically challenged and other nosey folks intersted in historical, literary, and cultural observations. Will's Texana Monthly may carry material from either blog, but extends itself beyond those, especially for longer compilations or treatments. The Monthly, the Bookshelf and the Parlor are all companions. So, is the Young Texas Reader http://youngtexasreader.blogspot.com/ which specialized on books and such things for the youngest to the teenagers.

Death Lore - Sanders

TEXAS READS: Funeral tales make for good stories

By Glenn Dromgoole, January, 12, 2009, Beaumont Enterprise, reviews Sanders' new Death Lore: Texas Rituals, Superstitions, and Legends of the Hereafter.

The review begins:  "Everyone probably has a favorite family funeral story or some other tale related to death and burial. Few could rival the story told by Herbert H. Sanders in a new collection from the Texas Folklore Society on Death Lore: Texas Rituals, Superstitions, and Legends of the Hereafter."
 
Dromgoole also comments on "Ghost Stories: A related volume is Brian Righi's Ghosts of Fort Worth: Investigating Cowtown's Most Haunted Locations (Schiffer Publishing, $14.95 trade paperback)."
