# Event Details - **Event Name**: A Peculiar Evening: In the Spirit of Edward Gorey - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 06:15 pm – Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: A whimsical literary evening inspired by Edward Gorey—illustration, atmosphere, readings, and gentle oddities await.About this EventStep into a world of literary oddities and quiet curiosity as we celebrate what would have been Edward Gorey’s 101st birthday. Hosted by Curio No. 7, this intimate gathering takes place at The Three Daughters Inn, where guests may also reserve rooms for an overnight stay if desired.Enjoy small classic bites and non-alcoholic drinks, curated to match the evening’s vintage charm, and discover playful amusements — sketching with black ink, slipping whimsical characters into shadowed scenes, or simply observing the peculiar atmosphere.Experience a few readings and reflections honoring Gorey’s wit, humor, and enduring influence, and explore a curated display of his books, where guests can linger over his peculiar stories and illustrations.Capture the night in a thoughtfully designed photo corner, and partake in a peculiar game of observation and imagination, where nothing is quite as it seems — no experience required.Every guest leaves with a tiny curiosity — a wax-sealed envelope containing a preselected card from the Fantod Pack. Edward Gorey’s trademark sense of impending doom is nowhere more darkly humorous than in this miniature tarot-inspired deck. Each of the 20 cards forecasts outcomes for its user, ranging from the merely inconvenient (loss of hair, broken spectacles, thwarted ambitions) to the downright alarming (catarrh, spasms, shriveling). Each card includes its own interpretation, provided by the ever-mysterious Madame Groeda Weyrd.Dress as you please — from everyday attire to a touch of theatrical flair.Space is limited to 12 guests, ensuring an intimate and relaxed experience where surprises await at every turn.Note: Venue is handicapped accessibleHosted By: Susan J.
