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 Windbreak at Lost Creek — Fexingo Horror

    The Windbreak at Lost Creek — Fexingo Horror
    May 6 2026
    In the autumn of 2021, just outside the town of Pinhook, Missouri, a farmer named Harlan Stout refused to let a stranger shelter in his windbreak. The windbreak was a half-mile wall of Osage orange trees his grandfather had planted in the 1930s, and it had stood firm against every storm for almost ninety years. But that night it wasn't sheltering anyone. Harlan told me the whole thing started with a smell—like wet dog and burnt sugar—and a sound that was something between a cough and a laugh. Over the next three days, the wall of trees began to move. Not swaying—shifting. Rows realigning themselves in the dark. By the third night, the trees had woven themselves into a shape that stood at the edge of his pasture. And it was holding something. This is a story about a kindness refused and a debt collected in saplings and shadow. It is also a story about a man who learned that some things grow in the places you least expect—and that the hardest wood has the longest memory.

  • The Bone-Rider of Crow Hill — Fexingo Horror

    The Bone-Rider of Crow Hill — Fexingo Horror
    May 5 2026
    A fog-drenched October night in the hollows of Crow Hill, West Virginia, 1982. Luna's uncle, a utility lineman, finds a barefoot girl with hollow eyes sitting on a transformer box at the edge of a pasture. She has no name, no pulse, and a fine powder on her dress that smells like burnt marrow. He drives her to the county hospital, but the road keeps spitting him back to the same curve. The radio plays only static. And the girl begins to speak—not with her mouth, but through the hum of the power lines. A story about roads that remember the dead, and the things that follow linemen home.

  • The Pantry Door in Eden Falls — Fexingo Horror

    The Pantry Door in Eden Falls — Fexingo Horror
    May 4 2026
    A winter road trip through Pennsylvania farmland lands Luna at a diner in Eden Falls, where a bowl of soup and a locked pantry door unravel a story she can't shake. The waitress, Maggie, talks about her father's decline, a custom-built pantry he sealed himself inside, and the tapping that started three nights ago. Luna stays past closing, listens, and walks out into a blizzard with the sound of something testing the hinges from within. No gore. No jump scare. Just a woman alone in a cold car, wondering what you do with a story like that.
