Tallgrass Writers Guild at Spooktacular

October 24, 2009, 7:00p—Part of Border’s SPOOKTACULAR salute to the season, March Darin, Kathleen McElligott, Whitney Scott and other area authors present readings from Fearsome Fascinations, 13th anthology in Outrider Press’ respected “Black-and-White” series published in affiliation with TallGrass. Readings will include Panamanian author Vincent Benestante’s prizewinning tale of a boy wishing to become a werewolf; the story of a kite’s fascinating—and growing— lure; the random meeting of a vampire and a desperate woman; and the gruesome secret behind unusually distinctive craftsmanship of certain custom-built stringed instruments. Fearsome Fascinations will be available for $ 18.95 purchase and book signing following the presentation. This program, free and open to the public, is at Borders Books in Oak Park, 1144 Lake Street, 708-386-6927.
