Anthology Reading: The Muddy Goose Adventure Society

Join us for an evening of adventure in storytelling. Contributors from The Muddy Goose Guide to the Weird Northwest will share their stories about the unique locations in our beautiful Northwest. Play with us as well as we explain the rules to The Royal Game of Goose that is on the book cover.

From the Neskowin Ghost Forest to Desolation Peak, the Northwest is bigger — and far stranger — than you know!

Join 24 Oregon and Washington based creators for a romp through iconic and soon-to-be-iconic grottos and vistas in our evergreen, mud-puddled, and sometimes very spooky backyard. In The Muddy Goose Guide to the Weird Northwest, you are invited to experience these landmarks and hidden gems in three ways: through stories and poems as eclectic and unexpected as the northwest itself, by rolling dice with your friends to play the board game on the front cover of this book, and by lacing up your boots and going out to see the sights for yourself.
