Unspoken Water: and Other Echoes from the Ozark (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798271989315)

A forgotten well, a moonlit holler, the hush between thunderclaps.

These are the echoes the Ozarks keep.

In Unspoken Water and Other Echoes from the Ozarks, author BJ Roshone weaves a haunting tapestry of folklore, fear, and faded memory deep in the heart of the Ozark hills. This gripping collection of short stories draws from the eerie beauty and buried secrets of one of America's oldest mountain ranges-where spirits linger, curses twist through bloodlines, and not all the monsters are make-believe.

These stories pulse with the rhythm of creaking cabins, flickering lanterns, and unspoken water-the kind you don't drink, the kind you leave an offering for. With a voice sharpened by years among the backroads and riverbends, Roshone captures what it's like to grow up with ghosts in your bones and shadows on your trail.

A chilling companion to The Prairie Eater and Other Whispers from the Sandhills, this collection continues Roshone's exploration of place-based dark fiction and rural gothic storytelling rooted in the landscapes that shaped her.
