The Haints of Hickory Holler 💀 scary.co

They say you can’t go home again. Maybe you can. Maybe you can't. Journalist and aspiring author Waylon Kinkaid reckons he’s about to find out.He never wanted to come back here to the sleepy little mining town of Locust Point, Alabama. But his grandmother has passed. So, accompanied by his girlfriend, Katie, Waylon returns to the hills and hollers of his youth to pay his respects, reuniting once more with his kin.Upon his return, Waylon discovers time hasn’t been kind to his hometown. Like most of Appalachia, the closing of its coal mines has been catastrophic, and the community is a shell of its former self. And just outside of town, in Hickory Holler, where he was born and raised, the winds of change are blowing as well.The Kinkaid clan, a family of bootleggers and moonshiners, have operated in these hills since the days of Prohibition. But it’s 1992, and this is the New South. White lightning has gone the way of the telegraph, and more and more, the Kinkaids are drawn into the lucrative … and deadly … drug trade.Waylon was never cut out to be an outlaw. He wants no part of the family business. He knows he should just pay his respects and get the hell out of Bloom County. But, secretly, he has an ulterior motive for this trip. He’s hoping to reconcile a troubled past … one that he’s never been able to escape, no matter how far he runs.He yearns to know the truth about his father, a legendary bootlegger who died in a fiery crash when Waylon was only a baby. Local lore says the restless ghost of Donny Ray Kinkaid still prowls Bloom County. Some say his infamous ’67 Fairlaine races down dark backroads, the moonlight gleaming off its sleek, midnight black body, man and machine forever cursed to deliver the Devil’s Spirits.He also wants to delve into the brutal murder and rape of his father’s bride, Cecilia. A free-spirited flower child of the Sixties, Cece Kinkaid’s dreams of San Francisco and the Summer of Love ended one bloody night in 1967. A mentally impaired neighbor was tried and convicted of the murder. But Waylon has his doubts. Was the man really guilty or simply a stain on the community, a constant reminder of a father’s forbidden sins?After an encounter with Cece’s ghost, Waylon realizes there’s more to the story. Somewhere under twenty-five years of gossip, legend and outright deception, the truth lies. But what price is he willing to pay to dig it out? As curiosity becomes obsession, lines between friend and foe, good and evil, love and lust and even the quick and the dead blur. Eventually, he’ll have to ask himself … is the truth worth the cost? For it just may cost him everything.Waylon Kinkaid is about to learn what it’s like to be truly haunted by your past.J. Morgan Woodall goes back to his rural roots to weave a tapestry of Southern gothic weirdness, backwoods intrigue and paranormal eroticism.
