We’re closing in on our next big stretch goal: the Backroads Almanac, a regional adventure book packed with strange stories from across Folklore Americana. Once we hit $35K, it’s officially added to every physical and digital bundle.

But here’s the thing — we want these adventures to feel real. Lived-in. Rooted in place. And for that, we need your help.

We’re asking you to contribute something personal:
 A myth, a strange encounter, a half-remembered story. Something tied to the place you live now, or a place you used to call home.

This isn’t about research. It’s about experience.

RULE: You can only post ideas for regions you’ve lived in (past or present). No secondhand stories from places you've never set foot.

Drop your tales in the comments. We want to know the stories and tales that resonate with you!

Spread the word — this is the time to bring more folks into the campaign.

Every share gets us closer to the Almanac. Every new backer helps carve another haunted road into the heart of America.

PS—Big thanks to everyone who joined us for last night’s Live Q&A. You asked smart questions. You got us talking. We’ll be doing it again before the end.

See you in the holler.
