September 11 is, of course, the date that El Sandifer's annual piece on the 9/11/2011 installment of the newspaper comic Barney Google and Snuffy Smith comes out (and the one for the next year is posted on her Patreon). This year, we get a look at #Appalachia - its geology, its history and the stereotypes of Appalachians that exist.
"America a Prophecy" is indeed, a preposterous critical undertaking. It's also brilliant, each post a banger.

Today the big moving van left the big city for the mountains.
Bittersweet moment to leave a loving home of 20+ years but the #Appalachians were calling me home.
It definitely was the house that built me. Now it is time to get back to my heritage and create new stories. My soul belongs in these mountains.
#Atlanta suburbs are no longer welcoming.

Happy International Cat Day! Just received my first bad review on my book GOOSE CREEK HOLLER. Pretty harsh, and while I get where the reviewer is coming from, did he actually read the part about the other Southern delicacies consumed by the Appalachian family of Buchnells? It also starts with a "G". I think not, or he might have given a more favorable review and at least a one paw up. And it's hollar, not holler, Mr. Harrison. Sheesh, reviewers. #cats #cat #bookReview #reviews #review #mastodon #fediverse #books #booksky #bookstodon #book #humor #fun #caturday #saturday #goose #goosecreekholler #sophiajanehayden #novels #novel #Southern #Appalachia #Appalachian #mysteryThriller #mystery #writingCommunity #writing #writer #writers #scribesAndMakers #writingCommunity #reading #read #readersofmastodon #readingCommunity #readin2026 #felines #harrison #catskills #words #iamwriting

So, I'm pretty excited about this book. This is absolutely a work of fiction. I begin by stating that. Nine years ago, however, I encountered the main character of this book in real life. A rural county sheriff who was a bad person. Investigating him and his cronies led to this tall tale of corruption, crime, and the sorts of malfeasance that can fester in a remote Appalachian setting where the law is whatever the powerful say it is. The names and crimes are altered for fictional purposes. My mother was a proud West Virginia "hillbilly," a term she used to describe herself, not as the derogatory inference as it has become today. She loved her West Virginia roots and her big family. So, the book's flavor is steeped in her corny sayings and my grandmother's words. I can still hear "Lawsy mercy" in my head. So, someday when "It's hotter 'n blazes" or when "it's colder than a well-digger's ankles" outside, I hope you'll curl up and enjoy reading my Appalachian novel GOOSE CREEK HOLLER. The ebook is now up for preorder at all online retailers with a delivery date of 8/1/26. MONEY. MOUNTAINS. MURDER. Enjoy. #novel #fiction #reading #readingCommunity #readers #read #author #authors #readThis #preorder #writingCommunity #appalachia #hills #newBook #new #books #mastodon #bookstodon #booksky #bookReview #writing #publishing #country #character #sheriff #corruption #crimeFiction #crime #book #slang #southern #words #criminal #murder #marijuana #goosecreekholler #sophiajanehayden

Nick Brumfield wrote a review of "The Night of the Hunter" movie. He analyzed it as an example of cinema set in Appalachia before the idea of Appalachia was resurrected and codified in the 1960s.
