Usually this stuff is called Appalachian fiction and they don't really draw state lines through it. Here's my best shot:
Obv there's Cold Mountain, Rocket Boys, and Hunger Games.
There's also Hellboy Volume 10 (comic) The Old Gods Waken (adventure, kind of sword and sorcery?) Harrow County Series (teen supernatural southern gothic fairy tale) Walter Tevis The Man Who Fell to Earth (aliens in Kentucky) 1632 Series by Eric Flint (wv family gets transported to the elizabethan era) Julia Keller (WV mystery author) wrote Dark Intercept, a scifi book about human trafficking D.J. Butler's Witchy Eye is an alternative 1815 where appalachian folk magic shaped society The Orchard Keeper by Cormac MacCarthy is appalachian but not wv/va Gods of Howl Mountain (wv noir?) Moonshiners (comic about appalachian werewolves v. nyc gangsters in prohibition era)
