MISSISSIPPI BONES:
The Witch Of Fulci Holler
Story Time, Mississippi Bones Style

Mississippi Bones have really evolved into something more than just a rock band.  They have become great storytellers through their music.  2018's Radio Free Conspiracy Theory really broke new ground with its mixture of voice acting and musical storytelling.  Now all of us stuck at home in quarantine mode get this nice little 16 minute collection of songs telling a tale of supernatural events taking place in a small town called Coffin Mills.

As always, the music is top rate; this is a cleaner sound than we're used to, but really intricate and compelling, and strangely relaxing.  If you've got 16 minutes to spare, read the story below, then kick up your feet, hit play,  and close your eyes and let your imagination run while the music takes you away.

Here's the story:
(this is just a quick synopsis of the novel Trade Your Coffin For A Gun, written by Mer Whinery.  A digital copy of the full novel is included with your purchase of this EP!)

A frontier town in peril!
The savagery of the hungry damned!

An unholy trio their only salvation!

Southeastern Oklahoma of the 1860s:

Little Dixie to some. Hell to others...


In the chaotic years following the end of the Civil War, Little Dixie is a brutal no-man's land where life and death are dictated not just by gangs of lawless thugs, but by far more sinister things as well. Shadowy beings that walk the line in the dirt separating Jesus from the Devil, writing their names in blood, terror, and human suffering.

Such is the woeful condition of Coffin Mills, a town cursed by a history of dark arts and shameful secrets. Something wicked has been stealing the town's children, something not of this world, or even the next.

Salvation arrives in the form of a trio of mysterious gunslingers known throughout the South as the Haints, a legendary band of bounty hunters specializing in tracking prey of a supernatural variety. They kill monsters, plain and simple.

Haunted by a violent past that will either deliver or destroy them, will they emancipate Coffin Mills from its otherworldly predator, or will all be lost to something far worse than even eternal damnation?

Here's the music:
