The harrowing story of the hanging of witches in Colonial New England continues to haunt our present-day imagination. The trials and executions of witches in Connecticut predated the more famous Salem witch panic by over 40 years. Hear the stories of some of the women and men accused\, tried\, and executed as witches and learn how Connecticut successfully controlled the spread of witch accusations long before Salem erupted in panic and violence.

Both are accomplished singers\, and their voices blend in close harmony along with strong and evocative instrumental accompaniment. They draw upon both contemporary and traditional sources\, and as their musical collaboration has deepened over the years they have broadened their repertoire to include “Americana\,” contemporary blues\, popular tunes (both new and old)\, and the very first rock and roll hit. As a result\, listeners enjoy a well-rounded acoustic music experience. \nMark White (guitar\, harmonica\, vocals) – Mark plays both fingerstyle and flat-picked guitar\, as well as harmonica\, and sings lead and tenor harmonies. Over the years Mark has played in several bands in Connecticut\, collaborating with some excellent musicians in the process. He has a deep appreciation for the many facets of American roots music and continues to search for songs that resonate with him and his listeners. Mark lives in Groton Long Point\, Connecticut. \nJon Swift (upright bass\, vocals) – Jon was a founding member of the popular Connecticut-based acoustic bluegrass band Traver Hollow\, playing and singing with that group for 13 years in the ‘80s and early ‘90s. His steady upright bass work\, as well as his lead and harmony vocals\, have been enjoyed by the many audiences who listened to Traver Hollow’s recorded albums and their live shows in Europe and Canada\, as well as much of the U.S. Jon sings lead and baritone harmonies and lives in Durham\, Connecticut.

Yet like vampires and werewolves\, gothic stories can assume different shapes and forms: Bram Stoker’s Dracula involves a supernatural evil unleashed in contemporary England\, while the narrator of Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” is haunted simply by his own guilt. In this workshop\, join author and freelance writer Jackson Kuhl for an evening investigating the dark art of gothic fiction writing. We’ll look at some examples of classic gothic literature to inspire us\, then brainstorm ideas\, sketch a brief outline\, and craft a piece of gothic flash fiction to take home. \nAuthor Bio\nJackson Kuhl is the author of the gothic novels A Season of Whispers and the forthcoming The Island of Small Misfortunes\, as well as the Revolutionary War biography Samuel Smedley\, Connecticut Privateer. Kuhl’s journalism and essays have appeared in Atlas Obscura\, the Journal of the American Revolution\, National Geographic News\, and other publications. His short fiction has been published in Professor Charlatan Bardot’s Travel Anthology\, Black Static\, Horror Library\, Love Letters to Poe\, Nightscript\, and numerous anthologies. He lives in coastal Connecticut. Visit him online at jacksonkuhl.com.
