Happy Halloween!

Guild members gifted stories to the community in four scary story events this month!

Here we are at the end of the 50th annual Festival of Ghost Stories  gathered on the stage for a final "Boo!" 

And here's our treat for you: four scary stories in four free Zines!  You can click on the title or use the QR code to go to the file with the Zine itself.   Each cover is original artwork by Connor Stelle, each story retold by a long time Guild teller.
