In celebration of the 'other' Halloween, Beltane, we've hosted a spooky issue for you. The skeletons in the closet have come out to play. The shadow people are stalking the halls and you are definitely not alone. Don't look under the bed, the monsters are coming for you. Our Screen Queen interviews the creators of eVil Sublet; our Coffin Queen visits Virgil Earp's grave in Portland; our Salty Historian profiles Korea's Lady Hyegyŏng from the Joseon Dynasty; our seer/mystic has prophesied your spring horoscopes and gives us a deep dive into the history and uses of roses; and we introduce our newest member, Beau Quilty, book reviewer extraordanaire. They bring us three gothic novels ripe for the season.
