註釋

Deep Down in the Delta contains fascinating folktales gathered recently in the Delta, along with poems by Delta native and one of the South's most promising young voices, Greg Alan Brownderville. Topics include Voodoo, magic, ghosts, haunted houses, and blues lore. Feel the mystique of the Delta's oceanic landscape. Venture into an eerie cypress jungle and swim a haunted bayou. Facing flocks of ghosts and swarming, black blizzards of mosquitoes, Brownderville invites you along as he explores the present-day folklore of the birthplace of the blues. The Delta, a region known as ?The Deepest of the Deep South, ? is the poorest place in America. It has also produced or inspired the likes of William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Johnny Cash, Robert Johnson, Walker Percy, Richard Wright, Shelby Foote, Muddy Waters, Jack Butler, Ellen Gilchrist, Lewis Nordan, and many others. Deep Down in the Delta offers a privileged glimpse beneath the veil of the most enigmatic region of the South.
