There are going to be so many MONSTERous vendors at the Night Gallery!😱💀

First vendor spotlight is none other than the exceptionally talented artist and author, Denice Arbacauskas aka Tormented Artifacts!

Dee has most currently been sighted in the Pacific Northwest where she is reported to live. While the Ravenswood Institute does not know her specific whereabouts or activities, it is known that her talents and history include leatherworking, maskmaking, theatre, tattooing, other art forms, and currently attempting to survive late-stage capitalism.
Dee will be bringing both her masks and leatherwork to the festival, as well as copies of her novels!

You can find Tormented Artifacts booth in the ballroom, but you can also meet Dee at 7:15pm in the Haunted Library for her live reading of the short story, “Old Ghosts!”
