Intrigued by the cover and the synopsis, I took the book home and was instantly captivated by its story of a folksy hero named John, whose pure heart and silver-stringed guitar help him defeat a couple of modern day druids up to no good in the remote Appalachian mountains. I was browsing the shelves of my local library when I came across a copy of The Old Gods Waken. I remember my first encounter, nearly 30 years ago, with the wonderful, weird fiction of Manly Wade Wellman. ![]()
