Appalachian Author Billy Coffey discusses and signs The Curse of Crow Hollow on Tuesday, August 11 at 7 pm.

“With the profound sense of Southern spirituality he is known for, Billy Coffey draws us into a town where good and evil and myth and reality intertwine in unexpected ways. Everyone in Crow Hollow knows of Alvaretta Graves, the old widow who lives in the mountain. Many call her a witch; others whisper she’s insane. Everyone agrees the vengeance Alvaretta swore at her husband’s death hovers over them all. That vengeance awakens when teenagers stumble upon Alvaretta’s cabin, incurring her curse. Now a sickness moves through the Hollow. Rumors swirl that Stu Graves has risen for revenge. And the people of Crow Hollow are left to confront not only the darkness that lives on the mountain, but the darkness that lives within themselves.”
