Ingrid White inherited the house and business from her beloved grandmother\, a local celebrity in town. But unless Ingrid can find a way to pay for crushing property taxes and mounting repairs\, she’s going to lose them both. Then Sailor Loeffler’s bachelorette party arrives at her door. Sailor is local royalty—part of the vast “Savannah Sauce” empire\, beautiful and wealthy beyond imagining—and Ingrid’s reading is so accurate that she’s welcomed in as the bride-to-be’s confidante. To keep that access and all the privileges it brings\, Ingrid relies more and more on hexes and dark spells—using the baneful magic Edie always warned her against. As Ingrid works even riskier spells\, she is drawn further into the Loefflers’ inner circle and the obstacles in her path melt away. But is it witchcraft or other\, more earthbound forces? Ingrid can feel the lines blurring even as her powers seem to grow\, until she must confront the truth about just how far some people\, including herself\, will go to keep the life they’ve always wanted… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Emily Carpenter: \n\n\n\nEmily Carpenter is a bestselling author of novels of suspense. Her previous novels include Gothictown (A Southern Living Best Book of 2025…so far)\, Burying the Honeysuckle Girls\, The Weight of Lies\, Every Single Secret\, Until the Day I Die\, and Reviving the Hawthorn Sisters\, which Publishers Weekly called a “refreshingly modern gothic tale” and Kirkus called “an exciting\, gothic-tinged quest.” After graduating from Auburn University in Alabama with a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication\, Emily moved to New York City. She’s worked as an actor\, producer\, screenwriter\, and behind-the-scenes soap opera assistant for the CBS shows\, As the World Turns and Guiding Light. Emily is a member of International Thriller Writers and Mystery Writers of America. Born and raised in Birmingham\, Alabama\, she now lives in Atlanta\, Georgia with her family. Savannah is the city she dreams about moving to one day. \n\n\n\nWebsite: www.emilycarpenterauthor.comInstagram: @emily.d.cThreads: @emily.d.cFacebook: @ecarpenterauthor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCopies of Emily’s book will be available for purchase during the event. \n\n\n\nReserve your tickets below! \n\n\n\nCan’t make it in person?

One hundred seventy-five years later\, why do we continue to descend into the darkness of his imagination—and of the genres\, from horror to crime\, that he pioneered? \n\n\n\nIn these spellbinding and singular book\, Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant winner Emily Ogden plumbs the darkness within Poe and enters it alongside him. She interweaves stories from his mysterious and tragic life—from his strange disappearances and tortured romances to his nearly fatal use of opium—with those of his most famous readers and translators\, including poet Charles Baudelaire\, writer Julio Cortázar\, and psychoanalyst Marie Bonaparte\, a descendant of Napoleon and a patient of Sigmund Freud. \n\n\n\nTracing their passionate attachments to Poe and Ogden’s own—unexpectedly sparked when she taught an introductory Poe course at the University of Virginia\, where Poe himself was once a student—Darkness Becomes Bright makes a different case for literature from the one we most often hear (that it engenders empathy). This exquisite volume shows how Poe’s vision and its echoes across the generations allows us to make peace with our own flawed humanity. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Emily Ogden: \n\n\n\nEmily Ogden is the author of On Not Knowing: How to Love and Other Essays (2022) and Credulity: A Cultural History of US Mesmerism (2018). Her writing has appeared in The Yale Review\, Critical Inquiry\, The New York Times\, American Literature\, the LA Review of Books Quarterly Journal\, The Point\, and Berfrois\, among other publications. The recipient of a Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant and a Mellon Fellowship in the Columbia Society of Fellows\, she is Professor of English at the University of Virginia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeneral Event Information: \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE: \n\n\n\n5:30 PM – Doors open \n\n\n\n5:45 PM – Zoom meeting opens \n\n\n\n6:00 PM – Talk begins \n\n\n\nVIRTUAL LIVESTREAMS: \n\n\n\nVirtual ticket holders will be sent a Zoom webinar link for the livestream the day of the event.
