The Ashfall War: A tale of the possible end
The Ashfall War is a haunting, slow-burn tale of folklore, memory, and the cost of truth, set in a post-war Appalachian landscape where something ancient has been stirred awake. In the wake of a civil conflict no one dares name, a solitary Reporter journeys into the remote hollows of Witch Hazel Ridge, searching for survivors and untold stories. What he finds is a land cloaked in unnatural fog and silence - and a community that speaks in riddles, if they speak at all.
At the center of it all is the Hollow Tree - a massive, impossible thing older than memory, pulsing with grief, power, and something almost sentient. As the Reporter digs deeper, chasing traces of a man named Tommy Clyburn and unraveling whispers of the enigmatic Doc Blackfeather, he finds himself caught in a web of lore, trauma, and time-bending forces that resist being understood.
Told in a richly atmospheric, Appalachian-inflected style, the story blends supernatural mystery with elements of oral tradition and post-apocalyptic tension. What begins as a quest for documentation becomes a descent into a living myth - and the Reporter, once detached, becomes part of the tale he came to record. Perfect for readers who enjoy quiet horror, folklore-laced storytelling, and the slow encroachment of dread.
