SUMMARY:Short Story Club
DESCRIPTION:Update: Due to extenuating circumstances\, we are no longer discussing “Something to Remember Me By\,” by Saul Bellow in October.  We apologize for the inconvenience. \nThere is something wrong at the House of Usher.  Its walls seem to whisper. Its halls hold secrets. And its inhabitants are haunted by something they cannot escape.  When an old friend arrives at the Usher estate\, he finds Roderick Usher in a state of growing terror—and as the strange events inside the house unfold\, the line between fear\, madness\, and the supernatural begins to disappear.  Join Short Story Club for a discussion of one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most chilling and enduring tales on October 8th at 10 am. \nA book club for adults\, but with a short story because sometimes there isn’t enough time to read an entire book.  Join an incredible community of readers\, enjoy engaging conversations and explore diverse perspectives and literature.  Physical copies are available to pick up in library or click here for story link: The Fall of the House of Usher PDF
