This Halloween, the John Adams Institute invites you to an evening steeped in shadows and storytelling with acclaimed gothic fiction and horror writer Daniel Kraus, known for 'The Living Dead', 'The Shape of Water', 'Whalefall' and his latest, 'Angel Down'. Kraus stands as a contemporary torchbearer in the gothic and horror literary tradition, following in the footsteps of luminaries like Mary Shelley and Edgar Allan Poe, and Shirley Jackson.
In his book 'Pay the Piper', Kraus undertakes the unique task of completing an unfinished manuscript by the legendary George A. Romero of zombie fiction fame, effectively collaborating with a truly ghostly writer. The novel reimagines the eerie legend of the Pied Piper in Alligator Point, a small community descended from pirate marauders deep in Louisiana’s bayou, where all manner of pasts and themes come burbling up from the swamp. The novel’s rich tapestry of characters and cultures compels readers to confront what we owe the past and the dead—and what they might demand of us in return.
