Event Details

The library's very own Weird Tale aficionado, Dan, delves into the legacy of Weird Tales magazine and the golden age of pulp fiction, tracing the roots of cosmic dread, gothic unease, and the bizarre storytelling that continues to haunt the genre today. Join us for a chilling journey into the uncanny and the unknown. We'll explore primarily classic weird fiction—specifically the work of Lovecraft, Smith and Howard as well as their influence on the modern masters—where the boundaries of reality blur and horror takes strange, unexpected forms.
