Annual Horror Symposium at the Plymouth Public Library

Join the Plymouth Library for their 3rd Annual Plymouth Public Library Horror Symposium at the main branch for an evening of macabre and horror!

We will be welcoming 4 authors from the horror genre for a panel discussion about their works and more! The authors include: Paul Tremblay, Bracken MacLeod, Sara Farizan, and Eric LaRocca! The discussion will be moderated by fellow author, Hillary Monahan. Light refreshments will be provided. 

Paul Tremblay is back for his third appearance at the Horror Symposium. Paul is the acclaimed author of Head Full of Ghosts, Cabin at the End of the World, Growing Things, and Survivor Song. His most recent release is The Pallbearer’s Club, which was described by Karen Russell as “a book that looks death squarely in its sighless eye” and is “brimming over with life and inventiveness.”

Also back for his third appearance is Bracken MacLeod! Bracken is the award-winning author of novels like Mountain Home, Stranded, Come to Dust, and Closing Costs. He is a Bram Stoker, Splatterpunk, and Shirley Jackson Award nominated author.  Terrence Rafferty with the New York Times Book Review described Bracken’s work as, “fiction full of traps–some physical, some psychological, none easy to wriggle free of.”

Joining us for the first time is Sara Farizan! She is the award-winning and critically acclaimed author of the young adult novels Here to Stay, Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel, and the Lambda Literary award winning If you Could be Mine. Sara’s upcoming novel Dead Flip has been described as an edge-of-your-seat YA horror perfect for fans of Stranger Things!

Also joining us for the first time is Eric LaRocca! Eric (he/they) is the author of several works of horror and dark fiction including the viral sensation Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. A lover of luxury fashion and an admirer of European musical theatre, Eric can often be found roaming the streets of his home city, Boston, MA, for inspiration. 

Event will be held at the Plymouth Library (132 South St.) in the Fehlow Meeting Room.
