Horror In The Highlands

Collected Horrors From The Ozarks

By: Richard Beauchamp

Narrated by: Richard Beauchamp

"Deeply atmospheric and evocative, Beauchamp provides a consistently dark and foreboding collection that drips with Southern Gothic"

Ryan Thomas Labee, author of Killing My Flesh Without You, and Editor-In-Chief of Pyre Magazine. "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.
