Jumbee and Other Uncanny Tales is a collection of fantasy and horror short stories by American writer Henry S. Whitehead.
The introduction is by Whitehead's fellow Floridian Robert H. Barlow.
The stories for this volume were taken chiefly from the magazines Weird Tales and Adventure.
Jumbee and Other Uncanny Tales contains the following tales: Eudora Welty, reviewing Jumbee for the New York Times, praised the collection as "gentle, matter-of-fact, rather fatherly stories which produce some of the most point-blank ghosts that have jumped at us anywhere" and concluded that "these little stories have charm -- perhaps it is the gentleness of the author's personality pervading their horrifying content that makes them piquant".
[1] E. F. Bleiler wrote that "Although the subject matter is often sensational, the treatment is restrained, smooth, and sophisticated, with much local color and with an attempt at social realism.
