The Lantern-Lit Symposium: A Gathering of Maine Horror Voices
A very special episode of the Fogcast is available now wherever you get your podcasts.
Tonight, the lanterns burn low and the fog presses close.
Across Maine's long spine of forests, rocky coastlines, and forgotten towns, eight voices have answered the call: storytellers who spend their nights walking the boundary between the real and the uncanny.
In this special edition of The Fogcast, the Lantern-Lit Symposium brings together Maine horror authors Michael Lowell Wright, Nomar Slevik, Amber Hathaway, Samantha Eaton, Zak Cowell, Arwyn Sherman, Morgan Sylvia, and Fox Emm, writers who have carved their names into the darker corners of Maine's imagination.
Together, we explore what draws people to horror, how Maine shapes a writer's perspective, and what truths about life in the Pine Tree State outsiders often miss. Along the way, the conversation drifts through fear, folklore, storytelling, and the strange gravity that seems to pull so many dark tales from Maine's woods, waters, and shadowed places.
Welcome to the Lantern-Lit Symposium, a gathering of voices shaped by Maine's mysteries.
Settle in. The lanterns are lit.
