Writers' Night of Fright

Writers’ Night of Fright is a celebration of author Edgar Allan Poe that showcases the original written works of Adult and High School patrons. Interested patrons may submit horror flash-fiction (700 words maximum), micro-fiction, or poetry to present at the program.

Not a fan of presentations or writing but love all-things spooky? Not a problem! You can still register and attend to listen to stories that are bound to keep you up at night.

Dress your best! Come and mingle with others in your best gothic attire.

This program is intended for Adults and High School patrons only. Registration is required.
