Situated on the banks of the Cape Fear River, Wilmington is awash in unusual tales and legends. A prevalent pirate hideaway, the area harbored the infamous Blackbeard and the cunning Calico Jack Rackham. Since its initial settlement, the region has witnessed an abundance of fantastical lore, including passionately fought duels, explosive train wrecks, Revolutionary and Civil War heroes and some legends that are said to take the form of apparitions. At the local Cape Fear Wine & Beer pub, the ghost of a fallen redcoat can't seem to get enough of a frothy porter brewed from yeast salvaged from an early nineteenth-century shipwreck. Wonder at these and other fascinating and strange tales as local author John Hirchak reveals the legendary history of Wilmington and Cape Fear.

The Cape Fear area of Wilmington is rich in history, with the big port city and numerous towns that surround the area. The beaches call to out to people for fun and relaxation, while Wilmington offers a richness of diversity and culture. But every place has some dark shadows that hide the ghosts and scary legends from the past. And the Cape Fear coast has more than its share. Scary legends mix with fun shivers in these thirteen ghost tales from the Cape Fear Coast. Wilmington is the host to many haunted houses, as well as shops and stores where ghosts walk, or float, with unconcerned indifference to how the living see them. Read about the many places where ghosts reside, some comfortable, others not so happy with their lot in life.And Wilmington is not alone in its haunts. Ghosts abound on the outer islands and towns. Fort Fisher is haunted by its bloody past, while Southport is home to a more content spirit who plays music for his unsuspecting fans. And down in Oak Island, a ghost is merely trying to find a little peace and quiet after a life of service. Enjoy these stories and more in Haunting The Cape Fear Coast.

Just as Africa and the West have traditionally fit into binaries of Darkness/Enlightenment, Savage/Modern, Ugly/Beautiful, and Ritual/Art, among others, much of Western cultural production rests upon the archetypal binary of Trickster/Epic, with trickster aesthetics and commensurate cultural forms characterizing Africa. Challenging this binary and the exceptionalism that underlies anti-hegemonic efforts even today, this book begins with the scholarly foundations that mapped out African trickster continuities in the United States and excavated the aesthetics of traditional African epic performances. Rutledge locates trickster-like capacities within the epic hero archetype (the "epic trickster" paradigm) and constructs an Homeric Diaspora, which is to say that the modern Homeric performance foundation lies at an absolute time and distance away from the ancient storytelling performance needed to understand the cautionary aesthetic inseparable from epic potential. As traditional epic performances demonstrate, unchecked epic trickster dynamism anticipates not only brutal imperialism and creative diversity, but the greatest threat to everyone, an eco-apocalypse. Relying upon the preeminent scholarship on African-American trickster-heroes, traditional African heroic performances, and cultural studies approaches to Greco-Roman epics, Rutledge traces the epic trickster aesthetic through three seminal African-American novels keenly attuned to the American Homeric Diaspora: Charles Chesnutt’s The Marrow of Tradition, Richard Wright’s Native Son, and Toni Morrison’s Beloved.
