Anne Zariff

Author. Poet. Folklorist. Heretic.

Stories from the old dark places.Anne Zariff writes stories from the old dark places: the hollows, the high ridges, the mountain blood that runs older than memory. Raised in the mountains of New England, shaped by the South, and now rooted in the ancient hills of Western North Carolina, she has spent her life inside landscapes that remember. Her fiction and poetry draw from Appalachian folklore, the weight of land that holds its dead close, and a lineage that stretches to the mountain villages of Northern Syria—where the old stories, too, never quite died.
