He had always wanted to come here, to this diamond in the rough wedged in-between kissin’ cousins of a state line: Paradise — a city split down the middle between the Commonwealth of Virginia and the State of Tennessee — was a bustling town in the early winter of 1928.

Episode 26: Welcome to Paradise

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.
