This Friday at the Goodrich Memorial Library in Newport. January 19th 2024 is Edgar Allan Poe's 215th birthday. Poe - the man, the myth, the absolute king of spooky American authors. Bradleigh Stockwell will talk about Poe's life and read "The Raven," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and other classics. There's also the possibility of a live theremin performance. Creepy - the way you like it! Afterwards, there will be a cake - a cake as black as a Plutonian shore - and a few bottles of Amontillado.
