This is one of Wellman's John the Balladeer/Silver John books. They're stand alone books set in rural America. Think the Ozarks, Appalachians, etc. John is a wanderer who travels with his guitar strung with silver strings, a store of stories and a general knowledge of American folklore. He lends a hand to help out with problems of mundane or supernatural origins.

This particular books deals with John trying ot over come a race of evil supernatural beings and their worshippers. It's interesting and fast paced. It's hard to find, and very enjoyable. ( )

Epigraph
When you have a memory out of darkness, tell to a seer, to a poet, and to a friend, that which you remember: And if the seer say, I see it -- and if the pot say, I hear it -- and if the friend say, I believe it: Then know of a surety that your remembrance is a true remembrance.

Leabhran Mhor Gheasadiareachd
(The Little Book of the Great Enchantment)
Let no one scorn the friendly tale,
Or doubt, unkind, its shadowed truth....
--Frank Shay, Here's Audacity
Dedication
for my Southern mountains and the seers, poets, and friends I have found among them
First words
You can feel right small and alone amongst those forest mountains, even by the light of day; and the sun was a-sagging down toward a toothy sawback of heights there at the west.
