  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. The Festival, written by H.P. Lovecraft in 1923 and first published in Weird Tales in 1925, is a dark and atmospheric tale steeped in ancient rituals, ancestral mysteries, and Lovecraft’s signature cosmic horror. Set in the fictional town of Kingsport, Massachusetts, the story exemplifies Lovecraft’s ability to weave together eerie folklore, haunting landscapes, and an overwhelming sense of dread. The narrative follows an unnamed protagonist who journeys to Kingsport to partake in an ancient Yuletide festival at the invitation of his ancestors. As he arrives, the town’s atmosphere is permeated with decay and antiquity, and the townsfolk exude an unsettling aura of secrecy. What begins as a solemn, almost sacred event quickly descends into horror as the protagonist witnesses unspeakable rites and is drawn into a confrontation with forces far beyond his comprehension. The Festival is one of Lovecraft’s earliest explorations of his growing mythos, blending elements of New England folklore with hints of the Necronomicon and his broader cosmic themes. The story reflects Lovecraft’s fascination with the thin veil between the mundane and the supernatural, where ancient and malevolent powers lurk just beneath the surface of human tradition.

  Whispering Willows is a place where wishes come true, but at what cost? 
   
   
   
  I didn't expect to be a widow at forty years old. I didn't expect to be a single mother. I didn't expect to inherit a mountain of debt. And I definitely didn't expect to return to Whispering Willows—or my life as a witch. 
   
   
   
  But here I am: I've reopened my mother's wish shop, started granting wishes, and am teaching my daughter magic. 
   
   
   
  Life is perfect . . . Almost. 
   
   
   
  There's my ex, who's aged unfairly well and who also happens to be my daughter's teacher. My high school BFF, who has turned into a major bully. And then there's the golden lamp. 
   
   
   
  After I find it in the basement, strange things start happening: the random rain showers in my shop, the ruined wishes, the seagull who can suddenly sing (off-key) showtunes. Just when I think it can't get any weirder, I throw the lamp in the ocean, and it appears back in my shop the next day. 
   
   
   
  Something is trying to escape that lamp, and if I don't figure out what, our new beginning might be over before it's even started.
