I chose to read this book, because I'm fascinated by the area, history, and legends and I was not disappointed. Nicely written, very well researched, each section comes with beautiful illustrations. I then found out that it was written by podcasters, so I went on to hear them and nowonder the book is so good! Definitely recommend it to Appalachia area and folklore fans! Finished it within hours, so very easy read too.

This was such an interesting read! Great for urban legends and ghost stories around a campfire. One to bring to a gathering for sure.

I've always enjoyed reading and listening to anything related to the Appalachian Mountains/trail.
Its vastness, the mysterious events and happenings that surround it, all things related always piqued my interest. So, naturally this book title caught my eye.

Much like the previous book(Freaky Folklore), the art work in this one is also well done. It dives deep into Appalachian culture and folklore, not just focusing on the spooky and terrifying tales. I learned a few things from this book and even picked up a biscuit recipe.

However, after a while this book felt a bit repetitive and I lost interest due to that. I did enjoy the section that featured the cryptids though. They were a few I never heard of before.

Overall, it was an interesting read that I was able to learn a few things from. If I didn't feel as though I were reading the same dialogue several times, I'd have rated it a bit higher. Still, not a bad book by any means.

Thank you to Netgalley, Quarto Publishing an the authors for my eARC of this book. All opinions are my own. Appalachian Folklore Unveiled comes out on October 8th 2024
