Old Gods of Appalachia

Post by [Syl] »

Anybody else listen to this podcast? I'm not a podcast or horror fan (especially eldritch, Lovecraftian horror), but this one grabbed me as soon as I heard about it. The fellowship hall on Facebook is also a great community, although even if it's never really talked about as a subject by itself in the hall or has more than a kind of tangential mention in the anthology itself, if you don't support LGBTQ rights, BLM, and that kind of thing, probably not the place for you.

And trust me on this. I know my people. If enough people check it out, it will be a thing here. Like Lost back in the day. Ah, good old Lurch

Never heard of this. It sounds interesting enough.
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

Nah, I haven't heard of it, but sounds neat. How does one find it? I suck when it comes to podcasts, ha.

Check out Old Gods of Appalachia (and that's App-uh-latch-uh, if you were wondering). [imitating Steve's voice] You can also find them on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever else you get your podcasts.

There are a couple of story lines (Build Mama a Coffin, Door Under the Floor, and Black Mouth Dog) you can only get on Patreon, but you won't be lost without them. And since the stories aren't told in chronological order, you can kind of start anywhere (but release order is best).

I have to warn you, though, it's addictive.
