Some places are forgotten for a reason.
When a group of young filmmakers travels deep into rural Alabama to document the abandoned ghost town of Ebion, they expect dust, decay, and local legends. What they find instead is something far older and far more sinister.
The kudzu has swallowed everything. Churches. Roads. Homes. Even the water tower that still stands watch over the lifeless town.
At first, the vines seem like nothing more than an invasive plant, reclaiming what man left behind. But as equipment fails, paths vanish, and the forest begins to close in around them, the group senses an intelligence behind the growth. The kudzu does not spread at random. It gathers. It waits. It tightens as if guided by an unseen, patient hand, aware of their presence and unwilling to release them.
What the Kudzu Keeps is a haunting Southern Gothic horror novella about forgotten places, buried sins, and the terrible truth that some things, once buried, were never meant to rise again.
Because the kudzu doesn't just cover the past, it keeps it.
