The Mercury’s 2026 Sauvie Island Corn Maze Reviews - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sauvie Island is Portland’s seasonal source for you-pick berries, nude beaches, and corn mazes where you might actually get lost. As fall’s spooky-autumnal air creeps in, we’re drawn the island’s three major corn mazes—all found within its southern portion, just on the other side of the Wapato Bridge. One is a long-running institution, another is a relative newcomer, and the last is a labyrinth of nightmares filled with bloodthirsty psychos who will chase you through corn. But which is right for
Portland Vampire Novel Coffin Moon Will Be Adapted for a TV Series - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Portland horror author Keith Rosson is having a good week. On September 22nd, the same day his new novel Crone hit shelves, Deadline announced that Paramount has taken the first steps to turning his vampire novel Coffin Moon into a TV series. “Jessica Biel heard it and suggested it on her Audible account,” says Rosson. “She’s apparently a fantastic reader and a big fan of horror.” According to Deadline, Noah Harpster and Micah Fitzerman-Blue, the writing and production team behind the Fred Roger
Knee-Jerk Reactions to Councilor Green’s Tweets Are Hypocritical and Dangerous - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The police are supposed to keep protesters safe as they exercise their rights to free speech—not retaliate by shooting them with rubber bullets, striking them with batons, or spraying tear gas at more than 2,200 times the safe limit.

Among those critical of the bureau’s use of excessive force was current Portland City Council member Mitch Gr
Men Are Monsters in Keith Rosson’s Crone - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Portland horror author Keith Rosson has been turning Oregon into a horror setting for a while now, most notably with his duology of Fever House (2023) and The Devil by Name (2024) which transformed the Rose City into ground zero for a zombie apocalypse. Last year’s Coffin Moon was similarly a 1970s vampire throwback set upon local earth. Rosson’s newest, Crone, goes a bit further, making the Oregon coast appear even more bleak, inhospitable, and desolate than it already is. The setting is a sodd
In Search of Portland Reveals an Evolving, Ever-Changing City - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Portland is a young city. It was incorporated in 1851, which makes it far younger than most urban areas on the East Coast, much less Europe or Asia—but it still has history. Even over the course of a mere 175 years, the city has reshaped itself again and again, and almost every city block has a story behind it. In Search of Portland, the new book by local journalist and architecture writer Brian Libby, explores those stories and locations, revealing layers of history buried under present-day arc
