Shroud Poetry Anthology Contributors Announced

Kevin Lucia has been hard at work editing Shroud's first poetry anthology. The author list follows. Congratulations to the talented poets that will have their work featured in this volume!

Synopsis:

When the snows fell hard this past year, the entire Northeast buckled down for a long, cold winter. Among the states affected most was Massachusetts, and one of the places that suffered the worst was a town located in the northeast of Massachusetts - a small hamlet called Miskatonic Falls. Situated inside the Miskatonic Valley Region, there's only one way in and out. Both were blocked off by the snow.

With little in the way of cultural significance and ten miles either way from the nearest town, with power and telephone lines down, Miskatonic Falls had been effectively cut off from the outside world for more than a month when the Miskatonic County Police Department received a garbled call from a pay phone at the town's only diner. The call consists of bursts of static, whistles and unearthly cries...

Investigators arrive to find an empty town. There are signs of violence, mayhem...even bloodshed....but all the townspeople have vanished without a trace. The mystery deepens when repeated references to the "long man" reoccur, in abandoned diaries, recovered emails and texts, and in a smattering of graffitti on walls that read:

BEHOLD! THE LONG MAN COMETH!

I am innexpressably excited about this. I can't wait to see what approaches everyone took.
