03/07/2024 12:00 AMThe Hagaman Memorial Library in East Haven will be hosting an evening of horror with a select group of Connecticut horror fiction writers, part of the Horror Writers Association (HWA)–Connecticut Chapter’s Fright Night series. The evening will include author readings, interviews, book signings, and sales, and even a little horror trivia (with prizes) to test your knowledge of the spooky and macabre.
“The Hagaman Library is happy to showcase local writers and artists in a wide array of literature genres so readers can be exposed to authors in their own backyards,” said Chris Hemingway, Reference, Archival and Local History Librarian for Hagaman Library. “We think this will be a fun event for our community. Readers will get to meet and engage with a wide range of authors working in the horror genre.”
The event will be held on Thursday, March 14, from 6:30 until 7:45 p.m. at the Hagaman Library, 227 Main Street, East Haven. The event is open to the public, and authors will be on hand to sell and autograph books.
Featured authors include playwright and book cover designer Logan Alexander Johnson, industrial/organizational psychologist and horror writer B.C. Bull, who is currently composing a collection of horror short stories; author of Dead Ends and Boy in the Box, Marc E. Fitch; author and editor of the anthology Silent Dystopia: Stories of a Silent Apocalypse, D.T. Griffith; author of the Primeval series and short story collection Among the Willows, John Opalenik; and Grammy nominee turned horror writer Judith Pancoast.
“Horror has exploded in popularity in recent years; it isn’t just for the month of October anymore,” said HWA CT co-founder and co-chair David T. Griffith. “We truly thank the staff at Hagaman Library for agreeing to host this event and can’t wait to connect with readers and those interested in horror and dark fiction.”
