I would like to personally thank everyone for tuning into the first edition of Night Mansion Magazine. I would also like to personally thank Tracy Thomas who has been behind the magazine 100% since it was rumored to launch, taking time out to get the little bits that add up and my wife Amy who gets to put up with me constantly at my computer. Well, it's not a rumor anymore.

Night Mansion is currently being published in it's basic skeleton form. Everyone involved with the magazine works long hours, the site is capable of a lot more than we are currently using it for. It it looks fairly bare, that's because I have pruned most the site away for launch. It's going to take a little time to get where I want to go with the magazine including podcast, video media, easy subscriber input, story submission and event system but we will start to get there in the coming months.

I'm sure we will have plenty of gaffs, bugs, problems, errors and general destruction along the way. But, that's the way things go in the online publishing business and I guess it's no different then having a prototype prop blow up in your face or having a newly constructed machine smash your fingers (No laughs from Matt or Chad -please). No one sets out to fail and I have every reason to believe that with the support we have received so far we will succeed in doing something that this area has needed for a long time, getting your haunts, your business, your stories and your events into the face of the readers. We are not going to be some out of place oddity that comes out only around Halloween, we are going to become the magnet in the Louisville area for everything related to Halloween, haunted houses and those off beat events that happen all year round (or at least every month or so).

You're probably going to see things moving around, additions and our formatting on the stories themselves should improve every month (we are getting there).

Please feel free to submit your press releases, ideas and stories to us via email. Once the site has been up for a while, there should be a submit news area available (among many other things). If you're reading this, we have passed the first hurdle in the whole horrible business which is to get the site up and "almost" working right.
