Strangling Kudzu: Horror in Appalachia

Kudzu climbs up the hills, katydids sing in the hollers, and there's something calling from the woods...

Horror books and short stories set in Appalachia.

Think: whistling winds, howling coyotes, rural isolation, small towns, folklore, religious fanaticism, and ghostly voices coming from the forest

Recs welcome! 🖤

❗️Some of the these books are classified as extreme horror/splatterpunk. PLEASE protect yourself, and check all trigger warnings.❗️
