TeenRe@ds

TeenRe@ads- A book group just for teens
Teens in grades 9-12 are invited to join us the last Wednesday of each month (except when it falls on a holiday!) to chat up the month’s book selection

Our next discussion will be on October 29 at 7:00pm and we will be reading Gothic! Ten Original Dark Tales. If you are interested in joining TeenRe@ds please speak to a library staff member and we will add you to the TeenRe@ds contact list.

A lovesick count and the ghost of his brutalized servant . . . a serial killer who defies death . . . a house with a violent mind of its own and another that holds within its peeling walls a grotesque secret. Here are witches who feast on faces, changeling rites of passage, a venerable vampire contemplating his end, and a fanged brat who drains the patience of a bumbling teenage boy. Here too are a flamboyant young novelist in search of a subject more compelling than his own eerie existence, and the daughter of a sorcerer fighting to free her lover — and her will — from sinister bonds. Enter the world of GOTHIC!, a celebration of the literary form made famous by such writers as Mary Shelley and Edgar Allan Poe. With chilling stories by: Joan Aiken, M. T. Anderson, Neil Gaiman, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Gregory Maguire, Garth Nix, Celia Rees, Janni Lee Simner, Vivian Vande Velde, and Barry Yourgrau.
