On an Appalachian Mountain ridge, young Vernon Ray Davis hears the rattling of a snare drum deep inside a caveknown as "The Jangling Hole", and the wind carries a whispered name. According to legend, the Hole is home to a group of Civil War soldiers buried by a long-ago avalanche. On the eve of an annual Civil War reenactment, the town of Titusville prepares for a mock battle. But inside the Hole, disturbed spirits are rising from their slumber, and one of them is heading home.

Wildly anti-gay and boring
Revisado: 08-24-23
If you want several hours of anti-gay slurs and constant abuse heaped on the one gay kid, this is the story for you. I suppose I should have had a clue when it was praising the Confederate army, but they were ghosts, so I thought it might be okay.
If you can stand the needless, constant, non sequitur gay bashing peppered throughout as though the author was trying to meet a quota, the story has neither scares nor anything like an intriguing plot.
Other authors can characterize bigotry as a portrait of the character they are exploring and it doesn’t turn to the offensive . This is not that. And it has the nerve to be boring and absurd on top of it. Ghosts who shoot you in the face? Also, the decent characters from the last book are tertiary and stripped of anything compelling.
It’s mostly political ranting, gay bashing, ghosts with live ammo, and somehow boring.
The narrator was good. So, there’s that.
