Joseph A. Citro is a Vermont author and folklorist. Occasionally referred as the "Bard of the Bizarre" or "the Ghost-Master General", he has extensively researched and documented the folklore, hauntings, ghost stories, paranormal activity and occult happenings of New England.
Interested in horror since he was a child, including the works of H. P. Lovecraft, Citro began his writing career by authoring several horror novels, including The Gore, Shadow Child, and Guardian Angels. These novels blended gothic elements and the eldritch terror of Lovecraft with actual Vermont folklore and contemporary New England settings.
Our Halloween theme this year is Vermont Monsters, Legends and Lore, and both authors will be talking about some of the folklore we are featuring in our haunted house! Keep your eye out at the program, you might catch a glimpse of the elusive Bigfoot, Pig Man or be lucky enough to hear a roar from Champ, the Lake Monster!
Our October display both of these authors, as well as some other books that expand on the Vermont folklore! You may find these selections by the circulation desk.
Both authors will have books for sale at the program.
