📚 Chris McGinley – Saturday, October 25, 2025
THESE HILLS HOLD STORIES YOU’LL NEVER FORGET
Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 25 from 11–2 when we welcome Kentucky author Chris McGinley to The Kentucky Bookstore!
Chris writes the kind of stories that get under your skin and stay there — steeped in Appalachian grit, shadowed hollers, and unforgettable characters. His short story collection Coal Black takes you deep into the dark beauty and hard edges of Eastern Kentucky, while his novel Once These Hills is a gripping tale of survival, violence, and redemption in a land as breathtaking as it is dangerous.
This is Kentucky storytelling at its rawest and most powerful — the kind that honors our history while holding nothing back. Chris’s work has been praised for its authenticity, haunting atmosphere, and unflinching look at the people and places that shape the Bluegrass.
Come meet the man behind the words, get your books signed, and take home a piece of Kentucky’s literary soul.
