About this listen

The Smoky Mountains have always been a land of stories—but some were never meant for daylight. In this dark collection, the author returns to the ridges and hollers of his childhood to uncover the shadowed roots of Appalachian folklore, where Jack Tales live on as restless, shifting shadows shaped by the land itself.

Blending eerie retellings with original horrors, these stories move through a world where the veil is thin, the woods listen, and familiar legends twist into something far more unsettling. Giants haunt forgotten ridgelines, witches strike bargains in the dark, and trolls slip between worlds without warning.

Atmospheric and deeply tied to the Smokies’ haunted geography, this collection reveals the mountains as beautiful, ancient, and never safe—stories carved from mist and memory that linger long after the final tick.
