Join us to celebrate the release of OLYOKE with author Vincent Endwell, in conversation with OF Cieri! Join us on March 18, 2026 at 6:00 PM for the unveiling of the exciting new release OLYOKEby author Vincent Endwell. Joining Endwell in conversation will be authorOF Cieri (BACKMASK). AboutOLYOKE: Welcome to Olyoke, Tennessee: home to a Dollywood-style theme park, generations of troubled families, mysterious plagues, and the prophecies of a dead architect turned cult leader who has foretold a fiery cataclysm. As the time of the fire nears, inexplicable events compound: Darcy, a Dolly Parton impersonator, finds strange worms in the swamp and feeds them to her dog, who begins to speak with the voice of Darcy's dead mother; Recently divorced Lyle Knox is called through its dreams by a strange house, and soon discovers that Lyle Knox itself is not a person, but a structure; Maggie Warner organizes a theater production to stave off her gnawing misery and becomes convinced that only the people she sees in her dreams are real. Moreover, the Whistler—the man Maggie becomes when she sleeps—welcomes the town’s impending Judgment with open arms. Many destinies will converge in Olyoke. None will escape unchanged. “Lures you into the crevice between Weird fiction and Appalachian horror where something inscrutable yet warm has been gestating. You will come back different.” About the speakers: Vincent Endwell originally hails from unceded Onondaga territory (Central New York). Their work has been published previously in Dark Horses Magazine, Corvid Queen, and Your Body is Not Your Body, an anthology from Tenebrous Press, among others. OF Cieri is based out of NYC.
