Chimney Hill
By R. E. Smith
The land remembers. The well is not dry-but thirsty.
Daniel and Rachel Harker are young, in love, and chasing a dream of simple living in the Appalachian mountains. When they leave behind the cold concrete of Rochester, New York, for a remote patch of land in rural Kentucky, they're looking for a fresh start-a home to build, a church to serve, a family to grow.
But what they find instead is Chimney Hill-a moss-covered relic of a preacher's house long since burned, with only the chimney and rumors left behind. Beneath the soil sleeps an ancient hunger. Locals won't speak of it. Maps warn against digging. The old woman at the general store whispers of Sylas Thorne-the blind preacher who baptized in tar and spoke in tongues that turned men mad.
As Rachel's dreams fill with spirals and songs in lost languages, and Daniel finds secrets carved beneath the very foundation of their land, the couple is drawn into a haunting they can't explain-and a truth they may not survive.
Rooted in Appalachian folklore and simmering with dread, Chimney Hill is a slow-burn folk horror novel about faith, memory, and the cost of building a future on cursed ground.
