“The Lamb” by Lucy Rose and “The Bog Wife” by Kay Chronister are both Appalachian as well!

i will put on the list!
sorry to be this person but "the lamb" is absolutely not set in appalachia.... it's set in cumbria in ye olde england
You know what. Thinking about it that makes total sense. But for some reason I was under the impression it was set in Appalachia.
I feel like both places occupy similar, or at least adjacent, spaces in our collective consciousness: rural poverty, rich with folklore, etc so I can actually totally see why you would think that :)

thank you for pointing this out! i had never heard of the book before i put it on the list so im glad someone caught that - it has been taken off
I really recommend My Throat An Open Grave!! Very short, very haunting, very good!
