Writers' Night of Fright is a celebration of Edgar Allan Poe that showcases the original written works of Adult and High School Teen patrons. Interested patrons may submit horror flash-fiction (500 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 Victorian or Steampunk attire.
