Literary Fiction

This wretched valley

by Jenny Kiefer

In a remote Appalachian valley, ancient evils stir and the land itself seems cursed. Kiefer weaves folklore and dread into a tale where isolation breeds horror and the past refuses to stay buried. A atmospheric debut that explores the darkness lurking in forgotten places.
