“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 :)
if i rmr correctly gone to see the river man by kristopher triana is set in appalachia as well!
will be added!
