The Hillbilly Chronicles

About the Hillbilly Chronicles The Hillbilly Chronicles is a collection of fictional short stories by D L Ennis.   The Hillbilly Chronicles are stories of the citizens of the fictional mountain community of Pig Waller Holler, Virginia. I have chosen to use the same narrator, who shall remain nameless for now, to narrate all of the Hillbilly Chronicles stories giving them more unity and allowing readers to feel more closeness to the people of Pig Waller Holler.

One thing is for sure is, he has a thesaurus and he's not afraid to use it. Episode #1--Alienated 'My wife and I are what some people may label, hillbillies.
