Overview
"Only What We Always Were, a short story collection by Caroline Talton, inspects the relationship between folklore and its connection to geographical place. Specifically, the author adopts the folk tales and ghost stories told in the state of North Carolina—from the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains to the shores of the Outer Banks. Each of the nine stories in this collection contain elements of the strange, blurring the line between fabulism and realism in order to explore themes of belief, loss, longing, identity, and where we call home. This collection asks what it means to be deeply connected to a place, and what happens when that place is no longer your home." -- Abstract
