Summary

"The Curse of Yig" by Zealia B. Bishop explores the eerie intersection of folklore and personal terror in the life of a pioneer couple. Set during the Oklahoma land rush of 1889, Walker Davis grapples with an intense fear of snakes, a fear amplified by local legends of Yig, a vengeful snake deity. His wife, Audrey, unknowingly incurs the wrath of this god when she kills a nest of rattlesnakes. As Halloween nears, a horrifying invasion of snakes turns their celebration into a nightmare, leading to Walker’s demise and a dark transformation of Audrey, forever marking them as victims of Yig’s ancient curse.
