SUMMARY:Tell-Tale Talks featuring: Allison Gunn
DESCRIPTION:About Allison Gunn: \n\n\n\nAllison Gunn is a researcher\, writer\, and proud owner of Blue Fae Tarot\, LLC with a penchant for all things whimsical and strange. An alum of University of Maryland\, Allison has extensively studied marginalized communities as well as folklore. \n\n\n\nShe currently resides in the wonderfully weird land of West Virginia with her twin daughters\, precocious pup\, and one seriously troubled tabby. \n\n\n\nAllison is represented by Logan Harper with the Jane Rotrosen Agency. Her debut horror novel\, NOWHERE (Atria | 2025) is currently available for purchase here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Nowhere: \n\n\n\nMare of Easttown meets The Outsider in this spine-tingling and twisty debut about a series of disappearances in a small\, fundamentalist town and what one broken family must do to remain together as dark forces close in. \n\n\n\nA haunting family saga and a disquieting horror debut\, Nowhere draws from Appalachian folklore to caution us that true terror is what we bury in our own hearts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are pleased to be joined by Fountain Bookstore for Allison’s Tell-Tale Talk\, who will be providing copies of Nowhere for sale.

SUMMARY:Evening Crane Theatre Presents: The Spyglass Seven
DESCRIPTION:The ghosts of Edgar Allan Poe and several of his contemporaries come to life this summer in a theatrical production of The Spyglass Seven at The Poe Museum on June 6\, 2025.  \n\n\n\nMichael Seebold’s The Spyglass Seven finds Poe resurrected from the grave for one night\, to speak again with the ghosts of the seven women who most  shaped his life and work. In a cemetery before dawn\, the ghosts reminisce on their loves\, rivalries\, and literature from the 1830s and 1840s. Under the  mysterious presence and vigil of the Spirit of Beauty\, Poe is given until sunrise to determine which of the seven women was his soul mate.  \n\n\n\nThe play incorporates writings and poems from Poe and his contemporaries\,  including the infamous Obituary for Edgar Allan Poe written by Rufus Griswold. Among the historical figures to appear in the play are Jane Stanard\, an early  mentor figure from Poe’s years in Richmond; Sarah Helen Whitman\, the  enigmatic spiritualist and one-time fiancée to Poe; and Virginia Clemm\, Poe’s  first cousin and wife\, whose death from tuberculosis inspired some of the  poet’s most famous poems.  \n\n\n\nThe Spyglass Seven received the 2012 Arts NC State Creative Artist Award for  Playwriting and saw its world premiere at NCSU University Theatre in 2013.  The play has run previously in New York and in the International Edgar Allan  Poe Festival & Awards in Baltimore. \n\n\n\nThe cast is led by actors Elias Morris (Poe) and Kylie Logan (Beauty)\, with hair\,  makeup\, and special effect designs by Sol Henriquez.  \n\n\n\nActor Michael Short\, who portrays Poe’s literary executor and rival Rufus  Griswold in the play\, comments: “my most vivid memory of Miss Elias’ 10th  grade English Literature class\, was the moment we turned the page to Poe’s  lyric poem Annabel Lee\, and we began to read.”  \n\n\n\n“Returning to an old script is rewarding but uncanny\,” adds Seebold\, who will  also direct the June production\, “familiarity and novelty reside in the same  lines. The world of the play begins to evade time.”  \n\n\n\nReserve your tickets by clicking the button below!
