Autumn is here and October has been the busiest month for us yet! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to book as many events as we could during our favorite month.
Not only is our aesthetic a perfect fit for spooky season, but The Chimera Snare itself is a spell. And our universe has its very own magic system- much of which gets touched on in 'Fragments'. Here are a couple of our favorite events this month.
Witches Day Out
Capping off our October events was Witches Day Out, curated by Inanna MBS, LLC. This was a day full of magic among a group of talented vendors. There were cocktails, a scavenger hunt and even witchy dancing amidst a wonderful crowd of supportive patrons! Needless to say, we had a blast.
Oddities and Dark Art Markets
Soundgrowler Brewing hosted the Oddities and Dark Arts Market on 10-5. Curated by John Streetz—Streezt Artz Alliance, this event had over 44 vendors featuring extraordinary range of products—from live spiders and insect taxidermy to macabre artwork and curious décor. We had so much fun connecting with fellow readers, some of whom approached us and expressed their interest from the FB event vendor shout outs. We even had a mention on Patch.com for the event under Clay Urn Publishing.
We also got to meet Award-winning Horror Writer & Director, CJ Vecciho at the Haunted Halloween Flea Market! CJ is curating Wisconsin's first and only Horror convention coming up next year in March in Milwaukee. We're happy to announce that we've been accepted as a participating vendor and are greatly looking forward to this event.
CJ also captured this awesome candid shot of us. Thank you so much!
Books & Booch
Our Books and Booch event at Living Full Kombucha was much more than just another stop on the Fragments book tour. This was an occasion celebrating the convergence of creativity and community. Lydia and Shawn are some of the brightest souls we’ve ever met, and we are honored and grateful to have them as friends. Our respective journeys in pursuit of something greater than ourselves have crossed in a way that fills us with fiery drive and a healthy outlook on the future yet to come.

The holidays are right around the corner. Don't forget, we have the exclusive Premium print run of The Chimera Snare: Fragments available on our shop.

We also have all the fantastic swag and immersive accompaniments, like our Delavine Crystal Scented Candle, Triad's Crown Custom Soap Bar, and Last Request Custom Incense, up on our shop as well.
Limited Edition Krampus Bookmarks
Our limited-edition foiled Krampus holiday bookmarks are hot off the press! We'll be giving these out at our upcoming markets in November and December. Online orders placed during that time will also receive one. Available while supplies last!
Making Meaningful Connections
We connected with both Jennifer and Amanda with Forget Me Not Animal Rescue at the Haunted Halloween Flea Market in Wheaton. When we told them about the art prints and out passion for animal welfare, it was an instant connection. We're thrilled to announce that Forget Me Not Animal Rescue is now part of our Giving Back Program and will be sponsored this December.
Giving Back Program
Our art prints can be purchased on Clay Urn Publishing’s webstore. All art print sales, including online, support the charity of the month. For more info, check out our Giving Back page.
Have a great November, everyone! We know we will. Check out the following events we'll be attending this month:
