The Ozarks-an ancient mountain range comprised of tree-covered summits and mist-filled hollows. But the Ozarks are more than just stone and soil, lake and tree. This is a landscape drenched in dreams and old magic. Folklore abounds, traditions linger, and superstition grips the land like a fist. Old women mix tinctures in backwoods cabins. Mysterious creatures of every shape and size stalk the forests. Long-forgotten powers rise and shift in the fog. From that fertile soil spring the thirteen tales of Spook Hollow: Tales of Ozark Horror, Volume One. In these pages, you will find heartbreaking hauntings, hollow-eyed preachers, mysterious structures, wise old cats, nameless graves, cryptids-the Howler, the Gowrow, and more-and grannywomen aplenty. So, grab your walking stick and strike out into the ancient forests, labyrinthine tunnels, and haunted hollers of the Ozarks. Bring your salt and your sage and your courage-you'll likely need all three.
