Description
John the Balladeer is a collection of folk songs and tales that bring to life one of horror and fantasy literature's most iconic characters. With his silver-stringed guitar, John travels through the Appalachian backwoods, battling supernatural evil with down-home charm and resourcefulness.
This volume contains all of John's stories in their original form, as they first appeared in magazines and anthologies between 1951 and 1987. Edited by horror legend Karl Edward Wagner, it also features a foreword by Manly Wade Wellman's friend and literary executor David Drake and an introduction by Wagner.
Edited to preserve the stories in their original form, this book offers a glimpse into a world of American fact, fantasy, and song, with its roots deep in the country's folk tradition. Covering 262 pages, it is presented in paperback binding.
