"The Ghosts of Ngaingah" is about a village on the west coast of Africa and a ritual curse that befell it. The Kissi have lived in that village since ancient times. Upon locating in the Kissi-Kama Chiefdom in the northeastern region of the Republic of Sierra Leone, they refused to follow ancient traditional practices. At the local oracle near the Kuyoh Mountain and at a shrine on the bank of Ndopie River, they heard a mysterious dirge one morning before the sun reached its zenith. The villagers saw a crowd of ghosts with bundles on their heads and accompanied by many animals. They were repeatedly chanting a mysterious dirge. The ghosts entered crevices in the Kuyoh Mountain and disappeared. The scratches they left on the hard rocks are still visible. According to my mother, who was a young woman when the incident took place, it probably happened in the mid-1940s. This narrative, which contains humor, mischief, and magic, demonstrates how powerfully tradition and custom influenced the lives of the people of one ethnic group3/4the Kissi. The mystery of the singing ghosts still haunts them. I am telling this story so readers will know about one of the twentieth century's enduring mysteries. Some names in this work are fictitious, excluding the famous paramount chief, Ansumana Jabba, alias "Memah" of the Kissi-Kama Chiefdom, who lived at Dia, and that of Chief Sombo, who actually lived in Ngaingah during that time. Nevertheless, what you are about to read is an eyewitness account of what occurred in that Kissi village. Michael F. Kallon New York City, September 20, 1997

Idols With Tears is a story Kallon often heard repeated (and rumoured to be true) as a child growing up. The love affair between Kumba and Tamba; takes place somewhere between 1910 and 1920. Michael Kallon is a native of Sierra Leone, West Africa and has been in the United States on political asylum for nearly two decades. This long separation from his homeland must certainly be difficult and painful, but in the pages of Idols With Tears it is evident that his memory and love of his country are strong, the passing years have not eroded his identification with Sierra Leone. Nevertheless, Kallon's primary identification is not with Sierra Leone, in particular, but with his people, the Kissi, one of the many ethnic groups in the region whose history stretches back long before the European colonial period. The fact that Idols With Tears is the first book to be written about the Kissi people is at the heart of Kallon's sense of its importance.

The Kissi are natives found in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and French-Guinea on the west coast of Africa. The stories narrated in this book do not just embellish the truth about the virtues of the culture of these unique, mysterious, and enigmatic natives; they portray an ebullient mythology of the Kissi in Sierra Leone.Stories are narrated to inform the readers about the richness in cultures. In this book of Kissi stories, we hope to take readers to the doorsteps of daring, kind, audacious, and peaceful natives living in these chiefdoms: Kissi Teng, Kissi Kama, and Kissi Tongi in Sierra Leone and along the banks of the Makona River.

The plays of Shakespeare are filled with ghosts - and ghost writing. Shakespeare's Ghost Writers is an examination of the authorship controversy surrounding Shakespeare: the claim made repeatedly that the plays were ghost written. Ghosts take the form of absences, erasures, even forgeries and signatures - metaphors extended to include Shakespeare himself and his haunting of us, and in particular theorists such Derrida, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud - the figure of Shakespeare constantly made and remade by contemporary culture. Marjorie Garber, one of the most eminent Shakespearean theorists writing today, asks what is at stake in the imputation that "Shakespeare" did not write the plays, and shows that the plays themselves both thematize and theorize that controversy. This Routledge Classics edition contains a new preface and new chapter by the author.
