Harlan Cobb

Harlan Cobb. Born up a holler in Owsley County, Kentucky, in 1951, and never lived anywhere else.

I tell the dark side of these mountains the way the old people told it to me: the rules for the woods after dark, what really kills people up here, the thing folks have seen at the tree line for two hundred years, the ones who walked into the hills and never walked out, and the customs we kept for our dead.
