I realize this was pretty cheap, but there’s absolutely no reason for it to exist in a physical form. It’s a single double-sided sheet of glossy paper, and the type is illegibly small- it feels like something you’d find in a rack at a dentist’s office. To use it, you need to read it as a pdf anyway (to get the monster stats, which are helpfully provided for several different systems, and offer a little more color and weirdness). There’s not much here as a game supplement, mostly feeble jokey single-sentence entries along the lines of “marshmallow bushes” and “sneaky preacher” and “corn maze” that, if you like the American old time music that this is based on, you could patch together yourself. This is making the GM do %99 of the work, and the joke is very likely to wear thin over a few hours. A setting based on old time songs is a cool idea, but this doesn’t do it justice.
