The Sound of Hollow Steps
A folk horror mystery soaked in silence, dread, and vanishing echoes.
When podcaster Lydia Voss arrives in the forgotten Appalachian town of Dagger's Hollow, she's chasing a story-one that began ten years earlier with her brother's mysterious disappearance. But this town doesn't just hold its secrets-it enforces them. Every resident wears state-issued headphones after dusk. The streets fall silent at sunset. And anyone who breaks the rules... disappears.
What begins as a hunt for the truth quickly descends into a waking nightmare. A sound stalks her. A rhythm that mirrors her own. Footsteps that fall too perfectly in sync. Something is following her-something that doesn't echo... it remembers.
As Lydia peels back layers of conspiracy, folklore, and trauma, she discovers that Dagger's Hollow isn't just haunted by what it's lost-it's listening. And once it knows your sound, it never lets go.
Perfect for fans of atmospheric horror, investigative thrillers, and folk dread with psychological teeth.
