The Oddity Market

The past two years have been challenging, disheartening, terrifying, tragic, etc. But we are on the mend. In 2021, I was blessed to be part of several outdoor market places, and in 2022, independent authors return to the Oddity Market in Mill No. 5 in downtown Lowell, Massachusetts. Join me, horror author S.R. Marks, and paranormal mystery author Lisa Bouchard on Saturday, 1/22/22 in the historical halls of an industrial mill building.

Mill No. 5 on Jackson Street in Lowell, is one of my favorite places to sip coffee, be with friends, and write stories. The fourth floor houses the coffee shop, vinyl shop, comic book store, and other small and independent businesses where you can buy that strangely perfect and unique gift for you loved ones. Or yourself. The elevator is the slowest one in town, but worth the wait and ride once the doors slide open. The real wood floors hail songs of age and history with each of your footsteps.

During the Oddity Market, the truly strange and unusual vendors line fifth floor corridor of this converted mill building. Gothic jewelry, books of horror and strange tales, taxidermy you didn't think you need (until you see it), and trinkets made of real bones, spider webs, and other peculiarities await the curious shopper.
