"Call of Cthulhu" with Storyteller/Author David Neilsen

Author and storyteller David Neilsen will give a one-man performance, on Monday, October 24th from 6:30 pm - 7:45 pm, of one of America's truly original works of horror.
Written in 1926 by H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu" is a blend of science fiction and horror that stretches the boundaries of reality and madness, weaving a mesmerizing tale of forbidden knowledge, secret cults, and abominations from beneath the waves and beyond the stars. He'll bring the audience back to the late 1920s and into a terrifying world of eldritch demons and abysmal realities, placing not only their lives, but their very sanity in danger. Do you dare answer the Call of Cthulhu?
This program is suitable for adults and teens age 14+

Big Read Teen Creativity & Writing Program:
"Exquisite Corpse"
|
Teens (age 12-17) will come together, on Saturday, October 29th from 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm, to play the classic French creative collaboration game "Exquisite Corpse," to create our own scary story.
Players will contribute a sentence to a folded paper, without seeing what the others have written. Like a game of Telephone, the story will become stranger with each player's addition. The name "Exquisite Corpse" came from a version in the 1920s where the collaborators created the bizarre phrase, "The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine." At the end, we'll read our story aloud and see how weird it turns out!
Registration is required. Please call the library or click here to register.
