New and expanded Library hours begin Sunday, July 18. Details
Join acclaimed author Clay McLeod Chapman in a discussion about addressing fears and the ghosts that haunt us.
Acclaimed author Clay McLeod Chapman’s "Ghost Eaters" explores the appeal and cost of lifting the veil between the living and the dead, while his newest novel, "What Kind of Mother," mixes supernatural horror, Southern Gothic and domestic suspense to explore parental grief. Join Chapman for a discussion about how we are all haunted — by the ghosts of regret, the shadows of grief, the horrors of history — and how exploring what frightens us can connect us. Books will be available for purchase and signing. This Oh, the Horror! event is sponsored by Friends of the Library.
