The Hollow Files: The Woman On Black Ridge
By Nicole Hobbs
Horror novelist Caleb Walker hasn't written a successful book in years. Hoping to overcome writer's block, he returns to his quiet Appalachian hometown of Black Hollow, where his editor encourages him to write about the local ghost stories that frightened him as a child.
One legend rises above them all.
For more than 150 years, townspeople have whispered about The Woman on Black Ridge-a silent figure dressed in black who watches over the valley from the mountain above. She never speaks. She never moves. And those who claim to see her twice are said to lose someone they love.
Caleb dismisses the story as folklore.
Until he sees her.
Twice.
His search for the truth leads him through forgotten courthouse records, abandoned mining tunnels, hidden journals, and a decades-old collection of mysterious files left behind by those who investigated the legend before him. What begins as research for a new novel soon becomes a race to uncover a conspiracy buried deep beneath the mountains-one that powerful people tried to erase from history.
As the line between fact and legend begins to blur, Caleb must decide whether he's chasing a ghost...or following someone who has been quietly leading investigators toward the truth for generations.
Atmospheric, suspenseful, and deeply rooted in the storytelling traditions of Appalachia, The Hollow Files: The Woman on Black Ridge is the gripping first novel in a haunting new series where every mystery uncovers another, every legend hides a forgotten truth, and the mountains never forget.
