YULETIDE TALES From Dark Hills And Hollers
by Dankworth Moonstone
No reviews yet. Be the first.
In her remote snowy cabin, Granny Stoop shares her Christmas tales, filled with mysteries, murders, monsters, magic and mayhem. Life in the mountains is hard, as are the people who live there, but even in the Darkest hollers the Light sometimes shines. Appalachian Christmas stories heavily influenced by folklore, not many happy endings, but lots of retribution. Recommended for those who prefer their Yuletide season to be a bit darker and a little more magical.
