About
The ghouls are back in town! After darkness falls, accomplished local authors emerge in BARN's Great Room to read their chilling stories as you treat yourself to yummy treats, wine, and dark 'n' stormy cocktails. You can even come in costume — if you dare.
Authors
In addition to the winner of our Dark and Stormy Night Short-Story Contest, we're excited to have these brilliant authors:
Luciano Marano
Luciano is an award-winning writer, journalist, and photographer, author of the werewolf novella trilogy "The Ambush Moon Cycle" and numerous works of short fiction, which have appeared in anthologies such as Year’s Best Hardcore Horror and The Best New Weird Horror, as well as Nightscript, Pseudopod and Chilling Tales for Dark Nights. A former staff reporter at both the Bainbridge Review and Port Townsend Leader, he was twice named a Feature Writer of the Year by the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association. A U.S. Navy veteran originally from Pennsylvania, he now lives on Bainbridge Island.
Leslie Lutz
Leslie is the author of "Fractured Tide," a young-adult survival story about an ill-fated scuba diving trip that strands the protagonist on a time-bending island off the Florida Keys (HarperCollins/Blink 2020) and Darkness," a young-adult horror novel about a teenage psychic who comes into possession of a haunted safe (Holiday House 2024). Her poetry and short fiction have appeared in various journals, including Typishly, The Lyric, Raintown Review, and Orca Literary Journal. Leslie lives in Poulsbo, and when she’s not writing, you can find her watching B-horror movies, scuba diving, or taking care of chickens.
...AND MORE! Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we announce more guest authors for this year's super spooky event.
