Flesh for the Family
In the shadowed hills of Appalachia, the Blood Ridge family was once known for their livestock farm. But behind the rotting barn and rusted meat hooks, a horrifying truth simmered. Loomis Blood Ridge, the patriarch, was a butcher by trade-but whispers in town claimed he was more than that. Obsessed with purity and control, Loomis believed that the soul could be “cleansed” through flesh. He passed his twisted beliefs to his three children: Silas, Henry Clay, and Malachi-each more disturbed than the last.. Henry Clay Blood Ridge, the eldest, was a silent brute who carved with surgical precision.-Silas Blood Ridge, the middle child, kept journals filled with cryptic symbols and anatomical sketches.-Malachi Blood Ridge, was known for his eerie calm and fascination with embalming. The original farmhouse burned down under mysterious circumstances, but the trio rebuilt it as Blood Ridge Processing Company, claiming it was a meat-packing business. Locals noticed strange disappearances, livestock that never returned, and the smell of cooking that didn’t match any known meat. Eventually, the town abandoned the ridge. The company was shuttered, but the building remained-rotting, cursed, and alive with whispers. Some say the Blood Ridge family still operates in secret, harvesting more than just animals. And if you listen closely on foggy nights, youmight hear the cleaver’s rhythm … and smell something cooking that would reveal something far worse than Appalachia folklore has seen.
