readings

4pm on Saturday, northwest horror writer Jenna M. Pitman will give a live reading at Magnolia's Corner, 4075 NE Sandy Blvd, across the street from the Hollywood Theatre. Followed by the Meet and Greet.

Lovecraft Unbound edited by Ellen Datlow is an award-nominated anthology of new stories inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. Ellen will host a group reading by some of the contributors to the volume: Marc Laidlaw, Michael Shea, and Caitlín R. Kiernan.

Over a dozen writers or horror and the fantastic will read selections from their works influenced by Lovecraft and the Weird Tales circle, along with prose and poetry from Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and others. Come celebrate fiction the way it all started—through the power of the human voice.
