October Scary Story Reading

For the month of October, among many other conversations, The Hog’s Head will be reading and discussing one H.P. Lovecraft story a week.  This year’s stories are shorter than last year’s, and I’m looking forward to discussing them.  We’ll be starting Monday, October 6.  Three of the four stories have free audio available, and all four are available by free online text.  Below the schedule is a list of assorted H.P. Lovecraft links.  We’ll also be bringing other horror stories into the conversation this month, and of course, talking about scary elements of the Potterverse.

 Here’s the schedule:

Week One (10/6 – 10/12): The Outsider

Week Two (10/13 – 10/19): The Music of Eric Zann
