What the Holler Keeps

By: Calla Harrow

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Eli Cutter has seen sixty-two deaths. None of them looked like this.

When a woman is found dead in a remote Appalachian holler—official cause: exposure—Eli is called in to confirm the obvious. But there’s nothing obvious about her face.

She looks… expectant. Like she saw something coming. Like she recognized it. And she didn’t run.

Eli rents a room from the victim’s estranged daughter, Maura Rowe—a woman who doesn’t trust him, doesn’t want him there, and definitely doesn’t want him digging into her family’s past. Because women in her family don’t just die. They go up the mountain to meet something waiting for them.

As Eli investigates, his case notes begin to change. Details appear he doesn’t remember writing. Paths he hasn’t walked. Warnings he can’t explain. And all of them lead back to one name. Delphia Skaggs.

The woman who was betrayed. The woman who was taken. The woman who has been collecting ever since.

The deeper Eli digs, the more the mountains push back. And the closer he gets to the truth… the more certain it becomes that this case isn’t just something he’s investigating. It’s something that’s been waiting for him.
