Early Praises for GODFESTATION by Jendia Gammon “An atmospheric, dreamlike exploration of grief, woven with threads of folkloric surrealism. Gammon’s Appalachia is at once magical and terrifying–a place where the veil between worlds is thin, where the earthy loam of old-growth forests meets the shimmering spectacle of gods both benevolent and sinister. A story of loss, transformation, and self-discovery that casts a deliriously enticing spell.” – Paulette Kennedy, bestselling author of The Witch of Tin Mountain August 2026 via Sley House Publishing Preorders Forthcoming

I’ve wanted to come to the Appalachian Writers Workshop at Hindman Settlement School ever since I took Gurney Norman’s creative writing and Appalachian lit classes in 2000. So nice to finally be here at the workshop 25 years later.
