Hauntings on the Snake River Plain

Many of you are wondering what is going on with our ghost anthology. We have over thirty submissions to consider. Each and every story is a delight to read. Our goal is to make final selections by March 31, which means if you sent in a story, you’ll be hearing from us in early April.
Thank you for your submissions, this is going to be a great book.

Ho Ho Ho — Time is running out

We know it is crazy busy this time of year, but we want to remind you that we are still accepting stories for our ghost anthology. If you have a ghost story that takes place in Idaho, it still isn’t too late to submit. Check out our page Hauntings from the Snake River Plain for more information. Deadline is Dec. 31.

Happy Holidays!

New play by Other Bunch author debuts

“Tears for Llorona,” a new play written by Patricia Santos Marcantonio, debuted on the stage of the Twin Falls Center for the Arts on Nov. 4 and 5.
The play is a first for Marcantonio, who is a partner in Other Bunch Press. The play is based on one of Marcantonio’s short stories that is included in “Voices From the Snake River Plain.” The play is a retelling of an old Mexican ghost story but with a new twist. It was produced by Carolyn White and the Magic Valley Arts Council, and was directed by James Haycock. The play also featured an all-Latino cast.
