About this listen

 In a cabin at the edge of the Appalachian foothills, Luna sits at a roughhewn kitchen table, a mason jar of black salt in one hand. She sprinkles a line across the windowsill, a warding gesture older than the kerosene lamp that flickers beside a faded hex sign on the cabinet. Each episode of Backwoods and Black Salt is a self-contained story pulled from the dirt roads and hollows where folk magic meets raw survival. These are tales of crossroads bargains, milk-sick houses, and the things that rattle the horseshoe above the door. Luna speaks in a hush, as if the walls themselves might listen. The unifying thread is place — a specific, rooted dread that comes from knowing the land remembers what you forgot. No wraparound arc, no recurring characters; just a collection of whispered chronicles from a world where black salt is both remedy and boundary. Open the jar and listen, but mind the line.

  • The Hollow Bone of Hemlock Grove — Fexingo Horror

    The Hollow Bone of Hemlock Grove — Fexingo Horror
    May 12 2026
    Late autumn in Hemlock Grove, New Hampshire — a town you can only find if you're already lost. Luna arrives at dusk looking for a woman who knows the old ways, but the woman is gone. What she finds instead is a child with no shadow, a root cellar door that should be locked, and a presence that has been waiting underground for a very long time. No one in Hemlock Grove speaks of it, but everyone locks their cellars at sundown. This is a story about the things we bury — and the ones that learn to dig.

  • The Black Bell of Jericho — Fexingo Horror

    The Black Bell of Jericho — Fexingo Horror
    May 11 2026
    It's the summer of 2006 in the dying town of Jericho, Missouri. The heat hasn't broken for forty-two days. Luna's cousin Ray runs the feed store, the last business on Main Street that isn't boarded up. He tells her about the church bell that started ringing at night—one slow, heavy toll, always at 2:17 AM. Nobody rings it. The door's chained shut. But the sound carries across the empty lots and cracked asphalt, and the old-timers remember what it meant, back when Jericho was still a railroad town. Luna drives out one night to hear it for herself. She parks a block away, leaves the engine running, watches the dark steeple against a sky that's an inch too close. The bell tolls. Twice. Something under the sound, a deeper vibration she feels in her chest. The next morning she asks Ray how the church got its name. He gives her the old pamphlet, yellowed and soft, from the centennial in 1982. The reverend who built it, a man named Silas Tull, claimed he'd been shown the plans in a vision. The steeple was built exactly two feet taller than the town charter allowed. Nobody knows why. But the bell—the bell was cast from something that wasn't bell metal. The foundry in St. Louis refused to say what went into it. Ray told her to stop asking questions. But at night, when she closes her eyes, she still hears that low note. And she knows, deep down, that it's not a bell. It's something else. Something that's been waiting for the town to get quiet enough to hear.

  • The Last Stop on Gravel Pit Road — Fexingo Horror

    The Last Stop on Gravel Pit Road — Fexingo Horror
    May 10 2026
    October 1987. Luna's truck breaks down on a dead-end road outside the town of Bitterwood, Tennessee. She walks to the only light — a diner called The Rusty Spoon that doesn't appear on any map. The waitress knows her name. The coffee is cold. And the jukebox plays the same song over and over, a song Luna remembers from a dream she never told anyone about. A story about roads that remember you, about places that wait, and the thin line between a shortcut and a trap.
