Appalachian Mountain Witch

By Patricia Rutherford

Appalachian Mountain Witch

A Folk Horror Novel by Patricia Rutherford

Nova is the founder of Appalachian Mountain Witch, a wildly popular social media group dedicated to mountain magic, folk remedies, and community spellwork. When she launches a contest to visit ten group members across Appalachia, it's supposed to be a celebration of sisterhood and shared tradition.

But something dark is watching.

As Nova and her admin team hit the road, the journey turns deadly. One by one, the contest winners are found brutally murdered-always after Nova leaves. It's no ghost or monster that haunts them, but a very real evil-someone they once trusted, someone the group banned long ago.

Now the line between digital connection and deadly obsession blurs, and Nova must confront the past she buried-and the darkness she accidentally invited in.

Blending folk horror, Southern gothic, and true crime tension, Appalachian Mountain Witch is a chilling tale about trust, legacy, and the thin veil between magic and madness.
