Welcome to our scariest Halloween issue yet.
Our Center Stage read aloud play is an adaptation 
of Mary Shelley's classing monster tale, Frankenstein. In our version, Mike Ruscoe tells Dr. Frankenstein's story of an overly ambitious science experiment gone awry.
Ghost stories are famously told aloud around campfires. This issue dips into the oral tradition with a retelling of an Ozark Mountain folktale called "Bloody Gruel." This is a cautionary tale of what could happen on a nighttime walk through the cemetery.
We offer another cautionary tale in Steven Frank's short story, "Jinx." Jenna learns the cost of silencing herself to be part of the in crowd in this Halloween story.
Please enjoy our Halloween issue of READ, chock full of chills and thrills. If you have any comments, questions, concerns, or if you just want to say hello, you can write to us at read@weeklyreader.com
