This book is the first anthology of the autobiographical writings of Peter Randolph, a prominent nineteenth-century former slave who became a black abolitionist, pastor, and community leader. Randolph's story is unique because he was freed and relocated from Virginia to Boston, along with his entire plantation cohort. A lawsuit launched by Randolph against his former master's estate left legal documents that corroborate his autobiographies. Randolph's writings give us a window into a different experience of slavery and freedom than other narratives currently available and will be of interest to students and scholars of African American literature, history, and religious studies, as well as those with an interest in Virginia history and mid-Atlantic slavery.

Concrete's Ghost Walk is once again, in jeopardy. Luther, the Stetson-crowned, malevolent ghost has returned, this time he brings a sinister friend. Both have an agenda that could destroy Concrete. And take Cement City's children as well. Skagit County Deputy, Jesse Crater has few options dealing with the phantom. Even fewer dealing with his cohort from another world. Time is running out. All Hallows' Eve approaches.
