The book version of the popular supernatural fiction podcast, The Innis Forgettance, is out now! Get your copy here.
According to rumors going around the haunted town of Inniscombe, 17-year-old Porter Hollis is to blame for his mother’s crying sickness.
What’s more, he’s been bewitched by the Neverseen, spirits haunting the forest who possess townsfolk’s bodies and steal their souls. Yet no one seems to know how or why the Neverseen came to afflict them.
Written and narrated by north-Georgia novelist Leah Noel, The Innis Forgettance is set in 19th-century alternate-Appalachia, and a faraway Celtic fort.
Travel with Porter Hollis as he sets on a journey to untangle the lies of the past, and a spell woven of darkness and fear. Will he bring about Inniscombe’s deliverance… or its end?
“Overall, this book is poised to speak to a world that desires to wake up from the nightmare of human history and find a way of Life that transcends the typical violent solutions to violent problems.”

Leah writes stories about characters who can’t help but ask questions… only to discover realities they never dreamed possible.
Leah Noel grew up in northwest Georgia. Much of her childhood was passed in the forest, where she dreamed up fantastical worlds and told stories with her friends. Captivated by imagination wherever she went, she wrote stories from a young age.
Through high school and college, she dabbled in community theater and film acting, and trained as a singer for a few years. After interning at a news radio station, a major Atlanta magazine, and a public relations agency, she graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in Communication and worked in the broadcast news industry before returning her focus to her lifelong passion of storytelling.
Leah self-published her first novel, While Cerberus Sleeps, in 2016, and released her second novel, The Innis Forgettance, in 2023. She became the story’s narrator, voice actor, and producer when she transformed it into an audiodrama podcast, releasing episodes weekly from 2022-2023. The Innis Forgettance podcast won American Writing Awards’ 2024 Podcast of the Year, as well as Fiction Podcast of the Year.
She lives north of Atlanta with her partner, two children, and dog, Arya.
