Widows Ridge

by Steven Paul Watson

The hills of Harlan County are full of majestic beauty and hidden mysteries, but Dustin and Jacob grew up hearing about the more horrifying stories, Widows Ridge was one of those haunting tales. Widows Ridge, a story of a long-forgotten holler and the mesmerizing spider-like woman preying on anyone who would dare trespass. Dustin is to be married and these two lifelong friends go on a hunting trip that causes them to cross a web of trails long forgotten. They quickly learn the fabled stories that haunted their youth weren’t stories at all. What should have been a night of bonding for two old friends becomes something of nightmares as the Widow seeks her prey.

What starts as a simple hunting trip becomes a nightmare steeped in Appalachian myth. The bond between Dustin and Jacob makes the terror feel all the more real
