The Autumn People are coming. If a guy comes around with tattoos of boys' faces on his palms, I'm out... (Please let someone get this reference! 🍁)

👻🌫️ KUTZTOWN, PA: PREPARE FOR A VERY UNUSUAL VISIT 🌫️👻

Kutztown, we’re currently looking for accommodations near Kutztown Fairgrounds from October 16 through 19, 2026.

We do have a Big Top and a frighteningly large number of performers to place.
On the bright side, since they’re ghosts, they don’t really take up any space. 👻
They tend to get noisy, though…

Occupational hazard when your job involves eerie performances, otherworldly acrobatics, and a dangerously twisted sense of humor.
So… yeah.Don’t say we didn’t warn you. 👀

Here, we’ll even give you a free tip for the inconvenience: if you’re planning to see the show, don’t forget your bravest friends. You’ll want backup.

👻 P.S. We do have a hotline for noise complaints… but you should know the ghosts are the ones answering it. And they’re disturbingly good at recognizing voices and tracking down addresses.

📅 DATES: Oct 16 - 19, 2026

📍 LOCATION: Kutztown Fairgrounds

📬 ADDRESS: 450 Wentz Street Kutztown, PA 19530

🎟️ For info and tickets ——> www.paranormalcirque.com

Not suitable for children under 13
Guests ages 13 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult

Horror is among the most diverse genres in fiction. That, in part, is why representation is so important. Fiction writing isn’t strictly entertainment. Sure, to an extent, most stories are crafted for enjoyment, but they’re also exercises in social commentary, political activism, cultural exploration, artistic therapy, philosophy, and self-expression.

The stories in Gloom House Publishing’s third annual LGBTQ+ charity anthology, "We’ll Always Be Here," speak to that beautiful range in horror fiction. Of equal importance, these books celebrate the voices of the LGBTQ+ community and the allies who love, appreciate, and champion them.

Firefly Bookstore is pleased to carry an extensive collection of books by Gloom House Publishing, including "We'll Always Be Here," $11.99
