Short Story Club
September 12, 2029 @ 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm
Join the Poe Museum for our virtual Short Story Club, a low-commitment literary gathering designed for busy reader who may not be able to commit to reading a new book every month. Our Short Story Club meets once a month on Tuesdays on Zoom from 6:00pm-6:30pm–a perfect chance to unwind midweek, connect with fellow literature lovers, and enjoy new reads—all without ever leaving your living room. Each meeting we will explore one Poe short story paired with a complementary piece by another author.
Bring a friend, pour a drink, grab a blanket, and settle in for half-hour of literary discussions!
