On the weekend of September 27th, 2024, Hurricane Helene brought devastating flooding to the mountains of North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee, resulting in the loss of over one hundred souls and the destruction of entire communities. The destruction is catastrophic, and we at Falstaff Books are bringing together some of the top names in genre fiction to help out our neighbors.
APPALACHIAN STRONG is a charity anthology featuring short stories from amazing writers, with proceeds going directly to individuals suffering the effects of Helene. The money raised will go directly to businesses and individuals recovering from this devastating catastrophe.
