Old Gods of Appalachia

  • Summary

  • In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark. Since before our kind knew these hills, hearts of unknowable hunger and madness have slumbered beneath them. These are the darkest mountains in the world. How dare we think we can break the skin of a god and dig out its heart without bringing forth blood and darkness? Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror-anthology podcast set in the shadows of an Alternate Appalachia, a place where digging too deep into the mines was just the first mistake.

Follow Closly Family.

Excellent anthology, though it is not scary just good listening. Some of the characters names sound similar so one or 2 listens may be required but this is a great pleasure.

Magical

This podcast is a little hidden gem, and anyone attracted to it can listen and know there are others out there who they may call "family"

Delightful

Absolutely stunning in everyday, with the best hint of childhood nostalgia. I will forever re-listen to this podcast.
