The Mortician’s Gift

Posted on October 7, 2018 by Loren Rhoads

Every year I repost the true story of my Halloween visit to the Westgate Gallery in New Orleans. The story originally appeared in Morbid Curiosity magazine, and was reprinted in Morbid Curiosity Cures the Blues. (I still have some paperback copies of that book to sell, if you’re interested. Check out my bookstore.)

The video comes from the crossover event that Morbid Curiosity‘s contributors did with members of the Thrillpeddlers, San Francisco’s much-missed Grand Guignol cabaret troupe.

If you’re amused by this story, it’s worth going to my MorbidLoren youtube channel and checking out the other readings from that night.
