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.

After the reading, the veil between the worlds will lift even more as attendees have the option of joining a specially-discounted* ghost tour of the hotel, departing from the theater, by Vince Wilson of Poe’s Magic Theater! (*Tickets are $10 and will be available for reservation soon. Spots are limited.)
