The circle of souls gathered around a fire becomes its own insular universe for the night, a space of shadows and secrets where even the tallest of tales ring truer than death knells. Step shivering into the worlds of these storytellers, where their true identities as oracles or deceivers are not just obscured, but obsolete. Playful scares, arcane séances, surreal premonitions, dreadful dreams. Ghosts and ghouls and grief. Fiction and memory are strange but inseparable tentfellows.
