Please Enjoy the Rebranded Harvest Festival as We Pivot From Our Island’s Long History of Human Sacrifice
Welcome to Stone Island, stranger! Put down your worries, step through the arch of woven corn silk into the town square, and join the annual harvest festival — a time of abundance, community, and in no way whatsoever a facade through which we lure strangers onto the island and kill them. We cannot stress that last part enough. That whole thing is over and this is not that.
There’s so much to do on the island, all of which will leave you alive. Start by checking out some local crafts: dried flower wreaths, seashell sculptures and quilts galore, and we want to be really clear when we say the quilts DO NOT contain hidden illustrations of the various, rustically creative ways in which visitors to the island will be murdered. Those quilts are now evidence in the investigation. These are new quilts, sewn in the last four months, which was a huge undertaking but also a welcome break from the police interviews.
Remember to sample our world-famous baked goods, especially the gooseberry pie and honeycomb toffee!
