O Devil, Where Art Thou?

Ten tales of American terror in old-time bluegrass and murder-ballad register. Not the famous monsters this time, the local ones, the warnings a county passes down so its children stay off the trestle and out of the water. The Hopkinsville goblins and the longest night a Kentucky farm ever had. The Flatwoods monster, come down on a hill in 1952. Boggy Creek. The Devil's tramping ground, where nothing has ever grown. Pope Lick, and the train that is always coming. The vanishing hitchhiker who only ever asks to be taken home. Documented encounters and generational warnings, arranged for fiddle and banjo and a voice that believes every word. Play it loud enough and you are passing the warning on.
