Wednesday Night Prayer List
Mrs. Betty’s porch
Somebody’s kin to somebody
Pray for you, sugar
Sit down, you look peaked. There’s sweet tea and pound cake, and I’ll tell you everything I know if you promise to act surprised.
Mrs. B.
Some towns have secrets. Jericho Valley has generations of them.
Tucked along the North Carolina and Tennessee line, Jericho Valley is a small Appalachian town where everybody knows everybody, old families remember old grudges, wolves walk the mountains, and the woods remember things people would rather forget.
It’s Southern Gothic, folk horror, family history, slow-burn romance, community gossip, old magic, and the uncomfortable realization that Mrs. Betty probably knew what happened before you did.

The Lay of the Land
Jericho Valley, as Mrs. Betty tells it. Pick a place. She’s been waiting for somebody to ask.
- Somebody’s lying
- Somebody’s kin to somebody
- Somebody died
- Don’t go after dark
Pins are shape notes, same as the old hymnal. Mrs. Betty sorts by sin.
Residents
Names changed to protect the guilty. Take a fan from the pew rack.
