About the event
Join us for an evening of haunted fiction, in the theater of the (reputedly) haunted Lord Baltimore Hotel, just blocks from where Edgar Allen Poe is buried. Candles flicker, masquerade masks are donned, Poe’s Raven makes an appearance, all while we listen to the words of celebrated writers of speculative, ghostly, and haunted prose: Carmen Maria Machado, Sequoia Nagamatsu, GennaRose Nethercott, and Matthew Lansburgh. Hosted by writers Joy Baglio and Jennifer Pullen, who will also be reading. Sponsored by Pioneer Valley Writers’ Workshop.
Doors open at 5:45pm! (Seats not guaranteed. Come early to get a seat!)
*For attendees only: At 10pm, Vince Wilson, of Poe's Magic Theater, will be meeting anyone interested in a (specially discounted) ghost tour of the hotel at 10pm in the lobby!
