For centuries, Johnny Appleseed has been celebrated as a pioneering hero — a wanderer who traversed the American frontier, planting apple trees that would nourish future generations. His legacy is one of environmentalism, selflessness, and humility.

But the truth?
It’s far darker than anyone ever imagined.

In this audacious and twisted reimagining of an American legend, Johnny Appleseed is revealed to be something far more sinister — a man who used trees as a cover for the crimes he committed in his ruthless quest for power. Beneath his charming facade of kindness lies a cold-blooded killer who used his frying pan as a weapon, planting orchards not to heal the land, but to bury his past… and his victims.

Travel with Johnny from his childhood in New England, where the seeds of violence are first planted, to the sprawling orchards he cultivates across the country. Along the way, Johnny’s true nature unravels in a series of darkly comedic and chilling encounters with strangers, townsfolk, and the innocent souls who unwittingly aided his deadly mission.

Bloody, Bloody Johnny Appleseed is a comedic horror tale that blends sharp satire with haunting suspense. It explores the fine line between myth and reality, legacy and bloodshed, as Johnny Appleseed’s twisted journey unfolds in a world that would rather remember him as a hero than face the horrifying truth. His tale is one of hubris, deceit, and the shocking cost of a name built on a bed of roots that should have never taken hold.

Discover the legend that was buried beneath the very trees Johnny planted, and find out just how much we’re willing to overlook in the name of a story.
