Wanda & Lodge
Wanda never asked for a weapon. She still ended up with a cast-iron skillet named Lodge.
Supernatural Americana meets Appalachian folklore in this gripping story cycle of a grandmother, her cast-iron skillet, and the long road between life and death.
Told from a barstool in Mound Town, WV. Each story follows Wanda and Lodge as they quietly, and sometimes not so quietly, protect a community from shadows no one else sees.
From black-eyed men to lingering voices, darkness comes in many forms, but Wanda never flinches. Her weapon is iron. Her armor is love. And her stories? Well, they’re still being told.
Haunting, humorous, and deeply human, WANDA & LODGE is a collection about legacy, quiet power, and what remains when everything else fades.
