About the Author
Cody Maddox writes rural noir fiction set in the hollows and backroads of Appalachian America. No easy answers. No clean endings.
The Ash Hollow series is built from darkness and mud — from the kind of towns where everybody knows everybody, and that's the problem. Where the church and the law and the silence all belong to the same people.
Influenced by Daniel Woodrell, Cormac McCarthy, and the slow-burn dread of early True Detective.
