The Town Crier received more responses than ever for this year’s go-around of spooky story submissions. From Halloween dancers to the haunted trees of Carob Lane, local writers were more inspired than ever. We plan to pick our favorite and award a prize, with the announcement coming next issue. In the meantime, we’d love reader feedback on your favorite story. E-mail editor Bruce Barton at bruceb@latc.com. Due to space constraints, we couldn’t run every story received. However, we plan to publish them all online at www.latc.com. Thanks to all the spook-sayers who participated!
