Savage South

by Christopher Hall

Welcome to the Savage South, where we celebrate all things beautiful, strange, and beautifully strange. It is a storied place where the past co-mingles with the present. A sultry siren call, and a lullaby daydream, and a switchblade hidden under peach orchard lace. Beneath the gentility and refinement lay a primitive heart. Cross her at your peril.We love our music, and we love our stories. It’s more than tradition. It’s in our (wise) blood. Discover the wonders inside a magnolia bloom, and the mysteries of a sharecropper shack. There is no beauty without danger. Kudzu Godzilla will devour us all.Cryptids, ghosts, true crime, and disasters, unusual animals, plants, and people, history, mythology, folklore, and religion, UFO encounters, literature, music, food, and culture. It’s all here. Become curious and be prepared to be shocked and amazed. Truth is stranger than fiction. Join us in our brave, bold quest, to get to the heart of the Savage South.
