Whispering Bones

This year’s Whispering Bones presents a very special weaving of witchy tales: stories of the witches that haunt our nightmares, the witches that live in our suspicions, the witches that make us laugh, and the witches who scar our souls—or heal them.

Dr. Betterov-Underhill will be on hand to promote his line of Dead People products, including his “Don’t Go Thither” Zither, acclaimed in the lower world and banned on many of the outer planets. And Shannah (Katherine Danforth-Hayes) will return with another episode of “Shannah’s Spell Closet!”

Join us for a night of comic, dark and thought-provoking stories:

“The Sea’s Dead” by Katharine Tynan, performed by Katherine Danforth-Hayes. A strange girl comes to live in Achill Island off the coast of Ireland.

"The Shift Witch,” a comic piece performed by Jackie DeGiorgis. A date in a space station food court with a guy with unexpected talents.

“The Room in the Tower” by E.F. Benson, performed by Kelvin Keraga. An invitation to a room full of nightmares.

“The Tin Box,” a dark piece performed by Jewel Winant. What is in the box that Irene left for her grand-niece?

“Ere the Fire/After the Fire” by Shawn Paper, performed by Shawn Paper and Isabel Covielllo. The story of King James of Scotland and Anges Sampson and a search for a witch.

“The Charming Shoes,” written by Kelvin Keraga and performed by Jeannine Haas. Witches come in many forms…

Suitable for ages 12 and above. Spooky and sometimes disturbing descriptions but no gore.
