About Old Gods of Appalachia
In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark. Since before our kind knew these hills, hearts of unknowable hunger and madness have slumbered beneath them. These are the darkest mountains in the world. How dare we think we can break the skin of a god and dig out its heart without bringing forth blood and darkness? Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror-anthology podcast set in the shadows of an Alternate Appalachia, a place where digging too deep into the mines was just the first mistake.To learn more about Old Gods of Appalachia, visit our website at www.oldgodsofappalachia.com (https://www.oldgodsofappalachia.com), and be sure to complete your social media ritual and follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/oldgodsofappalachia) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/oldgodsofappalachia) @oldgodsofappalachia, or on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/oldgodspod.bsky.social) @oldgodspod.

Episode 107: The Acolyte
Published 10 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Not to her, not to each other. The camp was blanketed in an eerie silence. She saw no sign of the children who must be here somewhere, and few enough of the women. A handful of them stirred cookpots over the fire, and she smiled at them shyly. None returned the gesture, though she could feel their eyes on her back as she passed. Theirs and those of others she couldn't see, perhaps peering from the folds of their tents. Lavinia felt a chill as her steps carried her beyond the hush of the camp into the deeper waters.
