The Darkest Night: A Bookish Solstice

Spend the evening before winter solstice with a group of authors who know a thing or two about finding light in the darkness.

Join us as we gather in the warmth of the historic Loring Greenough House as three talented authors share the tradition of telling ghost stories on the longest night of the year. Take in the beautiful setting as they read excerpts from their favorite haunting holiday tales.

Stay for book signings and a complimentary hot cocoa bar! (Non-alcoholic)

Authors Bram stoker award winning Christa Carmen, Cat Scully and Corey Farrencopf

Books will be available for purchase from Rozzie Bound Co-op Bookstore (rozziebound.com)

Christa Carmen

Christa Carmen lives in Rhode Island. She is the author of The Daughters of Block Island, winner of the Bram Stoker Award and a Shirley Jackson Award finalist, the Indie Horror Book Award-winning Something Borrowed, Something Blood-Soaked, and the Bram Stoker Award-nominated "Through the Looking Glass and Straight into Hell" (Orphans of Bliss: Tales of Addiction Horror). She has a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, an MA from Boston College, and an MFA from the University of Southern Maine.

When she's not writing, she keeps chickens; uses a Ouija board to ghost-hug her dear, departed beagle; and sets out on adventures with her husband, daughter, and bloodhound-golden retriever mix. Most of her work comes from gazing upon the ghosts of the past or else into the dark corners of nature, those places where whorls of bark become owl eyes, and deer step through tunnels of hanging leaves and creeping briars only to disappear.
