We invited fellow writers and poets to create original pieces that would sweep us up in stories and poems about the other, moodier season of change. We received a cornucopia of work that skews toward the gritty, the atmospheric, the strangely, dangerously beguiling. Some of the stories in this collection unfold their mysteries as gently as a wisp of chimney smoke. Others bring the heart-thumping thrills of an end-of-summer storm. Each of them brought their works to life with language as vibrant as Fall foliage and dialogue as crisp as Autumn air.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><br><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">STORIES AND POETRY FROM:<\/span><br>Brandon Barrows | Dean Blanchard | Oisin Breen | H.
