The Grolier Club Halloween Party & Gothic Reading

  • The Grolier Club - Dutch Kitchen & Morris Room (3rd floor) 45 East 60th Street New York, NY, 10022 United States (map)

Organizers: Eve Kahn & Rhiannon Knol

Join Grolier members for the second annual Halloween Ghost Story Reading, this year celebrating the Victorian author, aesthete, and Renaissance scholar Vernon Lee; held in conjunction with the Keats-Shelley Association of America. Following refreshments and short introductory remarks, attendees will take turns reading aloud one of Lee’s famous weird tales in the appropriately spooky setting of the third floor Dutch Kitchen and Morris Room. We’ll also celebrate the recent release of The Gothic Forms of Victorian Poetry (Edinburgh University Press, 2022). Festive attire encouraged.
