Hanover native publishes children's book inspired by act of kindness

A South Shore native wrote his first children's book, hoping to share a message of kindness and compassion to young children and their families. Arthur Russell Smith , who grew up in Hanover and is a 1997 Hanover High School graduate, published his book, "The Robe Squad: A Charlestown Tail" on Oct. 6. The book, which is for children ages 2-6, tells the story of Artie, his bathrobe-wearing dog, Gizmo, and a shivering mouse they rescue during a walk through Charlestown. Smith will bring his book to the South Shore for a reading and book signing on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 1 p.m. at Storybook Cove, 775 Washington St. Suite 2, in Hanover. Hardcover and paperback copies of the book are available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble . Smith said he hopes the heartwarming tale teaches children the power of empathy, the joy of welcoming others and how even the smallest act of kindness can make a giant difference. "I think about how important that is for everybody but in the world today and kind of how everything's continuing to evolve, it's a loud and messy world and I thought with this book can I just deliver a simple

Fall River's Factory of Terror to host adults-only haunted experience

Factory of Terror is bringing its scares back after Halloween with UNHINGED, an adults-only haunted experience in downtown Fall River on Nov. 13 and 14. The two-night event will feature darker scenes, adult themes and a more intense experience than the attraction's regular season allows, according to a community announcement. UNHINGED takes place inside Factory of Terror's more than 125-year-old historic building at 120 Pearl St. Guests enter during timed arrival windows, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Nov. 13 and 6 to 10 p.m. Nov. 14. “It’s a haunted house experience we’re building just for adults that will be more interactive. It’ll be darker, more intense,” said Mike Quill, owner of Factory of Terror. “It’ll cover subject matter that we don’t usually cover because it’s not appropriate for all audiences.” Quill also offered a warning for potential guests: “If you get offended by things, please don’t come. This won’t be for you.” What tickets cost and who can attend UNHINGED is limited to guests 18 and older. A valid government-issued photo ID is required at the door with no exceptions. General admission costs $45, plus taxes and fees. VIP admission costs $70, plus taxes and fees, and includes expedited entry
