The Mindful Writers Retreat and Year of the Book Press jump into the Halloween spirit with our seventh charity anthology, Cashmere Ghost and Graveyards at Night. A wide range of genres are represented with the collection leaning more cozy and fun than gory. Ghost tales, romance, historical bits, fantasy, and more bring the perfect diversion for busy autumn days. The volume benefits the Allegheny Land Trust, so know that in addition to reading enjoyment, proceeds will help support public lands. We’re proud to deliver a lighthearted gathering of short stories and poems for the spooky season!

Coming August 31, 2026! Available for pre-order now.
