2020 reading challenge ( where I'm from KY)... Some of the Appalachian s are in my state. So I chose this book and I was not disappointed. Some stories were better than others. One that really stinks out for me was about a guy who kept finding dead people (undead) walking on his property. Turns out they had a shepherd, and he traded for his deceased loved ones. Very interesting. Another story about a girl doing a research paper takes a vacay to a remote area. Of course, it didn't end well for her. The Appalachian Mountains are scary, for sure

The stories are interesting. For me, just not enough. Most end at a point that leaves me wondering what did I just read or that’s it? Maybe it’s because they’re short stories but I just need a bit more at the beginning, at the end, something…

This was a fun collection of horror in an Appalachian setting.

Standouts for me were:
End Trails by John Morgan
The Town of Afurisit by Charity Langly
Braids, Like Roots by Damascus Mincemeyer
Hemlock Winds by Shawn Lachance

This has put me in the mood to read more Appalachian inspired horror collections. The stories were varied and well written.
