Hey! Just a quick note to say that Orford Parish’s own Joseph Pastula has a story that will be in this month’s Turn to Ash vol. 2, so you should go ahead and preorder that now. Our own Tom Breen has a story in Ravenwood #2, so you know what? What the heck, go ahead and get yourself a copy of that, too.

We’re also still accepting submissions for the New England folk horror anthology, and the editor is hankering to read some good stuff, so please send good stuff to them.

Probably, there will be some news here soon about the next chap book. Hint: it’s got stories in it.

Courtesy of friend-O-the-Parish Raymond Majerski, here’s a selection of buttons that illustrate various aspects of our town’s storied history: the brief time in the early 1960s when the town government was controlled by a political party consisting of sentient bears (or, as opponents charged, humans dressed as bears); the town motto “We’re Closer Than You Think!”; and Orford Parish’s historically fraught relationship with the Society of Friends. Thank you, Ray. These are awesome!
