Monsters Under My Bed: Horror Author Panel

Where do the monsters under your bed go when the sun rises? Why is the loch-ness monster scarier than a scaly mermaid? And why aren’t we talking more about the haunted house epidemic?

Join Mavey Books on Monday, October 20 for a horror author panel discussing scary stories, Halloween, and why your overactive imagination isn’t even half as bad as the real thing. This event will take place at 7PM, October 20th at Char and Stave 21 Rittenhouse Place. Tickets are free. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
