Throughout the nineteenth century, fictional ghost stories developed in conjunction with the Victorian fascination with death and quest for proof of the supernatural. This era was a time of transition, democratically, economically and industrially speaking. These changes cast shadows over daily life and thought, and with that came hope and a dash of anxiety. In literature, the ghost story offered a way of anchoring the past age to an unsettled present. These stories allowed the Victorians to keep one foot in the land of the living... and one beyond the veil.

​

We will begin with a brief lecture on the significance and history of the Victorian ghost story, followed by a live reading of select poems and stories from the era, with live musical accompaniment.

Grab your friends and family for a night you won't soon forget!
