Fiction. Folklore. Fine Art.
Step into the haunted heart of Appalachia, where Waylon Graves blurs myth, madness, and the American dream.
Dark Stories. Human Truths.
Waylon Graves creates across mediums, blending literature and fine art into one evolving mythos. His novels and paintings share a single obsession: the beauty of decay, the poetry in forgotten places, and the thin line between the sacred and the monstrous. Each work begins with something ordinary, a town, a rumor, a face, and twists it until it becomes legend.
His approach is rooted in folklore but shaped by modern anxieties—industrial sprawl, lost faith, the digital ghost towns we build around ourselves. What emerges is not nostalgia but resurrection: a reminder that art, like myth, survives by haunting us.
