SUMMARY:Tell-Tale Talks Featuring: Joshua Barton
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Poe Museum on Wednesday\, April 8th for a Tell-Tale Talk featuring Professor Joshua Barton on “How beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken”: The Tarnished Mirror of Southern Gothic Literature. \n\n\n\n“How beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken”: The Tarnished Mirror of Southern Gothic Literature \n\n\n\nThis talk will introduce Southern Gothic fiction as a genre\, focusing on how its decaying settings\, eccentric characters\, and moral tension reveal the cultural anxieties of the postbellum American South. Moving beyond haunted houses and grotesqueries\, we will explore how writers like Edgar Allan Poe\, Flannery O’Connor\, and Tennessee Williams use distortion to expose themes of guilt and social decline. We’ll look at how the uncanny nature of Southern Gothic fiction often serves as a mirror to reflect the cultural and historical pressures of the American South\, while also offering a vicious critique of its past. Through this discussion\, Barton invite you to examine how the elements of these stories function as tools for social critique and psychological insight. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Joshua Barton: \n\n\n\nJoshua Barton is a professor of writing and literature and a lecturer on horror content of all kinds. He attended George Mason University as an undergraduate\, where he completed a BA in English in 2009; for his MA in literature\, he attended Southern New Hampshire University. His key area of academic research is horror literature\, with a particular focus on Gothic fiction\, haunted house stories\, and feminist horror. He has taught at American University\, George Mason University\, and Virginia Commonwealth University\, and developed horror literature courses with an emphasis on American monsters and cultural analysis. He is also a frequent collaborator with Profs & Pints\, where he has lectured on everything from Victorian ghost stories to folk horror to the link between romance and monsters. Outside of literature\, his interests include games (of all kinds)\, baking\, and dogs! \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.

SUMMARY:Tell-Tale Talks Featuring: Emily Carpenter
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Poe Museum on Thursday\, May 14th for a Tell-Tale Talk with author Emily Carpenter\, who will discuss her newest novel\, A Spell For Saints And Sinners. \n\n\n\nAbout A Spell For Saints And Sinners: \n\n\n\nIn front of an elegantly shabby townhouse on a Savannah side street sits a hand-painted sign: Miss Edie\, Psychic. 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? The talk can be streamed virtually! Select the Livestream ticket option at check out. Virtual ticket holders will be sent a Zoom webinar link for the livestream the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Tell-Tale Talks Featuring: Emily Ogden
DESCRIPTION:Please check back in late September to reserve tickets. \n\n\n\nJoin us at The Poe Museum on Thursday\, October 1st for a Tell-Tale Talk with author and professor Emily Ogden\, who will discuss her newest work\, Darkness Becomes Bright: On the Brief Life and Immortal Art of Edgar Allan Poe. \n\n\n\nAbout Darkness Becomes Bright: \n\n\n\nA fascinating and intimate inquiry into the shadowy life and horrifyingly compelling work of Edgar Allan Poe\, and why we are drawn to darkness in art \n\n\n\nSince Edgar Allan Poe’s mysterious death in 1849\, his stories and poems have captivated millions of readers around the world. 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.
