Haunted Minneapolis is a collection of local ghost stories, as well as a chronicle of Ron's attempts to uncover the origins of these stories, and discussion of what the stories mean for the people who tell them, and who experienced them in the first place.

Join us as Mathew L Reyes reads from his debut work, God's Own Country, a trinity of q***r/southern horror novellas that tackles the darkest parts of religious fanaticism and hypocrisy.

A Baptist congregation trapped in church must survive a hell of their own making, as well as each other. A youth group camping in the Louisiana wilds must contend with a monster older than sin and deadlier than the heat. A fundamentalist evangelizing in a rural town discovers horrifying truths about his God’s love and mercy.

Welcome to Louisiana, to its churches haunted by righteousness, to its forests baptized in holy fire, to its towns built on the grace of angels. Welcome to God’s own country.

Mathew is a copy editor based in Minnesota. When he's not working, he's jogging, writing, and haunting the wily, windy prairies. He’s had stories published with Quill & Crow Publishing, Crystal Lake Publishing, Paranoid Tree Press, and more. His debut work, God's Own Country, was published by Quill & Crow Publishing in June of 2026. You can find him on all socials .
