The Cartographer on Lost Creek Lane

In the autumn of 2018, Luna met a woman in the hills above Lost Creek, Oregon — a retired cartographer who claimed she could map places that did not exist yet. Her name was Margo Strayer, and her living room was papered in hand-drawn maps of towns that had no post office, no census record, no satellite image. Luna went to interview her for a rural folklore project. She stayed because Margo showed her a map of a town called Vesterly, and the ink was still wet. This is a story about the boundary between making something and finding it, about the way a person can draw themselves into a place that does not want them. It is also about the smell of wet cedar and the sound of a pencil eraser rubbing against paper at two in the morning, and what happens when the place you invent decides to answer back. #LostCreek #Vesterly #MargoStrayer #Cartography #InventedTowns #AutumnHorror #Oregon #RuralFolklore #HandDrawnMaps #WetCedar #PencilEraser #TwoInTheMorning #HorrorPodcast #FexingoHorror #ThingsInTheAttic #Anthology #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
