SUMMARY:What We Write in the Shadows: A Gothic Fiction Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The gothic is the past returning to haunt us in the present. 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.

SUMMARY:BluesGrass: a Live Acoustic Performance
DESCRIPTION:The acoustic duo BluesGrass features two experienced musicians who have been steeped for many years in American roots music\, including blues\, old-time\, folk music\, and bluegrass (especially its “bluesy” side). 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.

SUMMARY:Sharon Virts (Veil of Doubt) Author Talk & Signing
DESCRIPTION:Meet bestselling author Sharon Virts and hear as she reads from VEIL OF DOUBT. \nWhen a mother is charged with murder in a town already convinced of her guilt\, can defense attorney Powell Harrison find truth and justice in a legal system where innocence is not presumed? \nEmily Lloyd\, a young widow in Reconstruction-era Virginia\, is accused of poisoning her three-year-old daughter\, Maud. It isn’t the first death in her home—her husband and three other children all died of mysterious illnesses—so when Maud succumbs to an unexplained malady\, the town suspects foul play. Soon Mrs. Lloyd is charged not only with poisoning the child but also with murdering her children\, her husband\, and her aunt. \nEnter Powell Harrison\, a soft-spoken\, brilliant attorney who recently returned to his Virginia hometown to help his brother manage their late father’s practice. Approached to assist in Mrs. Lloyd’s defense\, Harrison initially declines\, worried that an infanticide case might tarnish their family’s reputation. But as details about the widow’s erratic behavior and her reclusive neighbors emerge\, Harrison begins to suspect that an even more sinister truth might lurk beneath the family’s horrible fate and finds himself irresistibly drawn to the case. \nBased on a shocking true story\, Veil of Doubt is part true-crime thriller\, part medical and legal procedural. Perfect for fans of Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace and filled with rich period detail gleaned from exhaustive research\, Veil of Doubt delves into the darkness of the South during Reconstruction\, exposing intrigue\, deception\, and death.

SUMMARY:Spineless: A Glass Menagerie of Blaschka Marine Invertebrates
DESCRIPTION:Opening October 21\, 2023 \nC. D. Mallory Building \nCurated by Krystal Rose and James T. Carlton \nFor millennia\, naturalists\, scientists\, sailors\, and artists have been fascinated by marine invertebrates\, an abundant\, diverse\, and ubiquitous group of sea creatures including sponges\, jellyfish\, sea anemones\, crustaceans\, mollusks (such as sea slugs and octopuses)\, sea squirts\, and many more. However\, finding a way to document these spineless species was often a challenge. When alive and in their natural habitats\, many species\, especially those with soft bodies\, present in vibrant colors and unusual shapes. When extracted from the sea\, the animals may quickly become colorless\, shapeless\, and sometimes almost unrecognizable. \nThe major exhibition Spineless\, opening in October 2023 at Mystic Seaport Museum\, will explore some of the inspiring ways that people have tried to record the ocean’s mesmerizing marine invertebrates. The main theme of the exhibition features the intriguing story of father and son glassmakers Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka of Dresden\, Germany. In the 1850s\, the elder Blaschka became fascinated by invertebrates he observed while at sea. Inspired to produce glass models that would capture their forms\, anatomical details\, and colors\, he and his son went on to create a unique mail-order catalogue business. They successfully sold and distributed these often extraordinarily fragile pieces to museums and universities around the world for teaching and display purposes. Over forty of these exquisite models from the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University and other institutions will be displayed. \nMore Info & Tickets

SUMMARY:Giving Garden Harvest
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a meaningful volunteer activity this summer while getting outdoors? \nCome join us in Mystic at the Giving Garden! Last year we donated more than 25\,000 pounds of produce to the United Way/Gemma Moran Center and served thousands in our community\, all possible due to our volunteers. We harvest every Tuesday of the growing season at 7 am for two hours\, but we welcome volunteers at other times on all days we are open. No experience needed\, and we welcome both regular volunteers and one-time or occasional helpers. \nSign up at linktr.ee/dpnc for a Giving Garden volunteer shift\, thank you!

SUMMARY:Witches in Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this fascinating and seasonal lecture with an educator from the Connecticut Historical Society. 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.
