The mountains of Central Appalachia are some of the oldest on Earth, but they hold secrets older still.

From the coal-darkened hollers of Eastern Kentucky to the haunted valleys of West Virginia and the shadowed forests of Eastern Ohio to the storied gaps of Southwestern Virginia, this comprehensive guide leads you through the dark heart of America's most legendary mountain range. These hills remember everything, and the dark things lying in wait here do not always rest easy.

Join authors Mark Muncy and Erika Lance as they trace back roads and forgotten pathways through a landscape shaped by abandoned mining towns, ancient burial mounds, Civil War battlegrounds, legendary family feuds, haunted locations, and enough cryptids to fill a normal travel guide twice over. Along the way, they uncover the family stories, overlooked history, recent encounters, and eccentric roadside attractions that make Appalachia one of America's most unforgettable and undeniably eerie places.

Pack your pepperoni rolls, carry a buckeye for luck, and prepare to explore the places where the veil between worlds grows thin.
