The Ozarks and the Supernatural: Dark Traditions and Ghost Stories from the Hollers

The Ozarks and the Supernatural: Dark Traditions and Ghost Stories from the Hollers

In the shadowed hollers and fog-choked backroads of the Ozarks, some debts are never forgiven and some doors should never be opened.

For over thirty years, reclusive investigator Silas McBride has walked the forgotten places most people avoid after dark. Now, for the first time, he tells the truth to writer F.K. Sterling: the real stories behind the campfire legends.

A headless cobbler who still measures necks for new customers. A singing tree that calls men to join its chorus. A grieving widow whose dead husband keeps coming home wearing different faces. Lights that follow you home—and someone always dies. Ancient pacts sealed with blood, curses that wait generations to strike, and things in the hills that were old before the mountains had names.

These are not ghost stories for entertainment.  
These are warnings.

Raw, unflinching, and soaked in the dark soil and woodsmoke of the Ozarks, *The Ozarks and the Supernatural* is a masterful descent into a living folklore where the old rules still demand payment — in silver, in blood, or in flesh.

Read it slow.  
And whatever you do… pay attention to what not to do.
