This Halloween season, step into a world where classic literature meets bizarre magic at The Haunted Page: Tricks & Tales for October Eves!

Forget rabbits and top hats. William Pack brings the eerie works of Edgar Allan Poe, Shirley Jackson, and Ray Bradbury to life in a highly interactive performance filled with spine-tingling stories, macabre humor, and the odd and unusual.

Part magic show, part literary nightmare, and entirely unlike your typical night at the library. 👀

👥 For teens and adults

If you love the strange, the mysterious, and the delightfully unsettling, this is one Halloween event you won't want to miss.
