Old Gods of Appalachia

DeepNerd Media

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.

Our Editor's Take

Old Gods of Appalachia is a trip to an alternative universe. This podcast is a horror-fantasy story that tells the tale of angry horrors deep within the Appalachian mountains. People digging for gold and treasure awaken something awful and terrible events ensue. A dark, magical, and engrossing experience, this story will take podcast listeners to a whole new world. The narrative is enticing and gripping. Fans may go on a listening binge.

Episodes are usually around 30 minutes, which makes for quick, easy listening. Some episodes go longer, though. The variety gives listeners a chance to enjoy several episodes in a row, one longer episode, or enjoy a shorter episode any time. The exciting storytelling and excellent sound design will have people hooked from the start. The show has already gained an avid group of followers. Fans of dark and creepy tales will love this suspenseful and evil-ridden story.

Slip into a warped realm where nothing is what it seems. This story is an escape from reality and lets listeners explore a world of imagination and wonder. Even though it is dark, this adult fairy tale offers a break with great storytelling. It lets listeners enjoy a creative tale full of imagination and wonder in a convenient show. This is like an expanded audiobook for those who love in-depth stories. From witches to monsters and little girls haunting the woods, Old Gods of Appalachia has every hallmark of dark fantasy.
