Night of the Mother: An Appalachian Gothic Horror


Overview

Book Two of the Appalachian Moon Witch Chronicles, continuing the story begun in Night of the Moon Witch. In the shadowed hollows of Appalachian Virginia, the past doesn't stay buried. Twila's memories were stolen when she was eight years old-a dark spell that split her soul in two and erased centuries of her life as a moon witch. She survived, barely. The only person who remembers what she lost is Martin-her lover across lifetimes, the one constant in centuries she can no longer recall. Together, they've begun piecing her life back together. But the witch who destroyed Twila has returned to finish what she started. When Twila and Martin inherit an estate steeped in secrets-ancient archives, abandoned monasteries, and journals chronicling generations of moon witches-protections guarding the hollows begin to fail. Corrupted spirits rise, people begin vanishing, and Twila realizes the witch isn't just hunting her-she's rewriting history itself with blood magic. As Twila searches the journals for answers, she uncovers truths that shatter everything she thought she knew about her family, her power, and the woman who abandoned her. Because some monsters aren't born. They're made by the people who should have loved them most. Perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher's THE TWISTED ONES, Deborah Harkness's A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES, and Patricia Briggs's MERCY THOMPSON series-a darkly atmospheric blend of Appalachian folk horror and gothic romance where poetry becomes prophecy and love blooms in the shadow of ancient evil. This is atmospheric folk horror first, with a slow-burn gothic romance woven through it. Expect genuine scares, graphic violence, and complex Appalachian mythology. Not a cozy fantasy or lighthearted paranormal romance.
