Vampires, Werewolves, and Ghosts, Oh My!

It is once again that time of year when longer nights, darker shadows, and portentous changes in weather call forth the stuff of nightmares. This season, spend some time learning about the genre of horror literature and hearing tempting tidbits from books featuring the troika of fear – vampires, werewolves and ghosts - including Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels.

Wednesday, October 7th at 7:00pm
Presented by Library Director, Christine McIntosh.
