Southern Gothic: Chapter Seven
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine
Hello y’all!
Welcome to chapter seven of Southern Gothic. Boy howdy, am I excited! Like more excited than usual. Why? Well this chapter follows Agent Grant and the gang to one of my favorite places on Earth: my hometown, Big Stone Gap, Virginia.
I’m so glad that the spookiest time of the year aligned with our story’s road trip into Central Appalachia. And get ready because I’m in the process of creating a special post to hype some of my favorite Appalachian locales, artists, and cultural sites for those of you interested in visiting or learning more about the region.

Southern Gothic is a horror comic and is not suitable for all readers. Chapter seven features depictions of blood, gore, dismemberment, gun violence, and supernatural horror. Reader discretion is advised.
