Gather, readers, dreamers, and midnight schemers, for a one-night-only event devoted to the stories that haunt us long after the final chapter ends...
The store will close at 5pm sharp, transforming into a realm reserved for the mysterious, magical, or morbid. Only those who possess a ticket — your key — will be allowed to cross the threshold and explore Powell’s as never before.
Wander the stacks and stumble upon unexpected performances, beguiling bites, and spirited cocktails, all amid characters pulled straight from the page.
Join us from 6-9pm. It’ll be a ghastly good time. Please note: This event is for adults (18+) only.
