Horror In The Highlands: Collected Horrors From The Ozarks

By: Richard Beauchamp

"Beauchamp is a masterful weaver of horrors who works in prose the way Bosch and Goya work in oils. The Ozarks are teeming with unfathomable, long-forgotten terrors great and small, and the Missouri author will ensure they're all embedded in your psyche by the time you've read Horror In The Highlands"- JON STEFFENS, author of God In The Hills Coming home to seek solace in the isolated foothills of a land he thought he knew, a Vietnam veteran finds only madness... A boy turned feral from growing up alone among the gorges and hollers stumbles upon a mysterious fungus with terrifying properties... His son dying of cancer, a desperate father turns to mountain medicine to save him, but the cure he seeks always comes at a cost... Often overshadowed by their smoky cousins to the east, the Ozark Mountains hide within its verdant, dome-shaped hills abominations and horrors that have spawned countless generations of folk tales and campfire stories. Ozark native Richard Beauchamp takes us on a haunting tour of his stomping grounds with this collection of stories centered around those seemingly bucolic foothills to reveal a rich, untold history written in blood.
