The headline is plastered all over the Fayette Tribune, accompanied by a picture of the gravel lane lined with body bags. The article is vague, and fits entirely on the first page of the newspaper. The cause of death for all thirty-one inhabitants is unknown, their names have not yet been released, and an investigation is ongoing: that is all there is to say.

Tyler Rhoades grew up in Meadow Bridge, close to Moonshiners' Hollow, but he escaped the small town at age eighteen and has since drifted from city to city in a desperate attempt to find himself. After an accident at his most recent job as a deckhand aboard a barge, Tyler's drifting life is uprooted as he is forced to head back to his hometown in the deepest recesses of West Virginia and into the shifting darkness of something terrible.

Darkheart by SarahQuinnMcGrath

One summer, four teens discover something they'd forever after wish they hadn't about the wealthy resort that is the heart of their otherwise sleepy community. The horror of what happened has stayed with each as they've gone their own ways and attempted to make lives for themselves, but fifteen years later, they're called back to their home, to one another, each as broken as the next. Because the darkness they unearthed is loath to let them know its secrets, and when darkheart wakes, it can't be put to rest without being satiated. *This novel is told in chapters that alternate the past with the present. 🖤First Place for Horror in the Punk Rock Awards 2023

The Chronicles of Emberwood by TrustedVen0m

Tyler and his ragtag group of friends thought their role-playing adventures in the quaint town of Emberwood were just harmless fun-until their game leads them to Mistvale Forest. What starts as a daring quest turns into a terrifying discovery when they unearth a glowing shard with mysterious power. As shadowy forces awaken, the line between their imagination and reality blurs. Can this misfit crew rise to the challenge, or have they stumbled into a danger far beyond their control?

Unbroken ▹ Teen Wolf [02] by insatiabIe

Remaining both physically & mentally intact within the confines of Beacon Hills wasn't always a struggle for Rachel Hale. There was a time when the town had been her home, a place she'd never so much as consider leaving for more than a short vacation. A time when she had a family, an actual home where she could feel safe at all times & a best friend she tell anything to. For awhile, Rachel was starting to believe she could have that again. Her time in London had come to an end as the beginning of junior year neared, and for a whole week, Rachel had believed that maybe, just maybe, she'd be able to continue on with the normalcy she'd had for the past two months. Beacon Hills had supposedly been the epitome of boring for the entire duration of her absence, and Rachel had truly believed it would remain so in her presence. Her brother had moved into a new loft, she was starting junior year with her best friends & no one was trying to kill them- it was everything she could ask for. But as the story goes, all good things must come to an end; especially when Rachel's friends & family are no longer the scariest things lurking in the shadows. New threats are in Beacon Hills & this time, they're a lot more sinister. An alpha pack wants Derek & they're willing to paint the town in the blood of everyone he cares about in order to get him; all while a dark druid is running about, adding to the body count with its ritualistic sacrifices. Innocent people are dying, time is running out & everyone seems to think Rachel holds the key to stopping it- unfortunately, they're forgetting a crucial piece of information. Reflectors are just as breakable as their object counterparts. [3A & 3B - Unspoken sequel] © 2016 // Aly aka @insatiabIe

Her Dad's company strikes a business deal, resulting in their leave. . or so she originally thought.

After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as.

She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?

Blood Bargain ✅ by CamelliaCarroll

Conjure a demon to catch a killer? That's Appalachian witch Ellie's last remaining hope to solve a two year old cold case that haunts her nightmares. She's still grieving her late fiancé, but the few Boone residents that don't think she killed him herself have given up on finding the murderer. Kazerin, on the other hand, is not prepared for what awaits him when he answers Ellie's request. He's used to bargaining for lust or power, not closure, and he's a little nervous about what feelings stir up the longer he's around Ellie. Their feelings only entangle further the longer that Kaz stays in town, pretending to be Ellie's new fiancé as a cover for investigating the murder. Follow Ellie and Kaz in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry. BLOOD BARGAIN is Book #1 in the Appalachian Magic book series.
