Join poets Lauren Brazeal Garza, Katie Condon, Lauren Kalstad, and Courtney Le Blanc as they read their work at Deep Vellum Books!

In this generative two-hour workshop, we will explore the global evolution of scary stories and the important functions they’ve served over time. We will also look at what makes a story scary, and why we are often drawn to horror as a genre. Finally, we will begin working on our own dark narrative based on a writing prompt designed to inspire creativity. Participants will be invited to read their work to the group.
