Dangerous Threads
A collection of ghost stories from textile factories centered on a spirit named Bubba.
The author utilizes her background in the textile industry to compile real-world accounts of supernatural occurrences. The narrative structure weaves together different tales from various plants she has worked at. A mischievous ghost named Bubba resides in one such thread plant without issue until a malevolent force arrives. This new presence causes unexplained events that disrupt the workers. Melody, the newest crew member, begins seeing things that defy her understanding. The book focuses on these specific incidents rather than offering a broad overview of industrial horror. It presents a grounded approach to the genre by rooting the scares in the author's professional life.
Published in 2008 by Lulu.com, this work reflects the niche market of self-published horror fiction. It draws on the tradition of workplace ghost stories common in American industrial culture. The book sits within the broader category of supernatural fiction that finds terror in everyday labor environments rather than ancient estates.

Poteat effectively leverages her professional background to create an authentic sense of dread within the familiar confines of textile manufacturing. By centering the narrative on the mischievous spirit Bubba and the subsequent arrival of a malevolent force, the book maintains a tight focus on specific, unsettling incidents rather than broad overviews. The introduction of Melody provides a relatable entry point for readers to experience the escalating phenomena firsthand. This grounded methodology distinguishes the work from scholarly labor histories or classic gothic tales set in castles. It succeeds by transforming the mundane reality of production into a source of genuine terror, appealing specifically to those who enjoy workplace horror and industrial folklore.
