HARROW SPUNNER
A deeply intuitive but ungrounded psychopomp, has arrived in Rose Hollow to apprentice under a skilled Chthonic Mourner, who will teach her the ancient art of ritual wailing and weaving the energetic currents of the dying as they cross the threshold of death. In her search for meaning and connection, she becomes entwined with a charismatic artist, who wants to use her power to feed an ancient force of absolute erasure called Nightroot.
KANDI RAVER
When a weekend road trip in 1999 leads a trio of friends to an epic rave in the forest, one of them vanishes into the woods without a trace. Now, a haunted survivor must begin analyzing decades of faded flyers, decoding cyber-sigils hidden in the ink, revealing a sinister intent behind the legendary parties.
LORE WEAVER
Katya Oona is an independent writer, musician, and visual artist living in the Pacific Northwest. Her work is inspired by the honest and imposing philosophy of brutalism. Stripped of any comfort, her storytelling explores horror rooted in the human experiences polite society expects us to veil, leaving us feeling raw and isolated. She believes these moments are deeply personal dark initiations from which we emerge from the rubble of the collapsed Tower, and concretize our true grit. These stories are the result of not looking away from the unvarnished truth of pain. Weaving connection through this shared lore, she hopes these stories reach the people who need them most. May we all transform our personal isolation into a sigil of empowerment.
