“Halloween Reading”

“Halloween Reading” October 23

The Camden Public Library will host a special evening of scary, paranormal, and mystery pieces at the “Midcoast Halloween Reading” on Tuesday, October 23, at 7:00 pm. There will be four readers that evening, Kate Cone, Peter Dudar, Jen Blood, and Katherine Silva. The four are writers of “dark fiction,” horror stories, and pop fiction. Katherine Silva, host for the evening, says the readings “will probably be PG, for the most part.”

Kate Cone: Kate Cone has a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from the Stonecoast Writing Program at the University of Southern Maine. She is the co-founder, with EJ Fechenda, of the Portland-based reading series called LIT: Readings and Libations. Her 1997 non-fiction book What’s Brewing in New England: A Guide to Brewpubs and Microbreweries is still in print and can be bought on ebay for about a penny, at last check. Her fiction has been published in Stonecoast Lines, Six Sentences, and Thinking Ten: A Writer’s Playground. Kate is working on her novel No One to Bury and lives in Waterville, Maine.

Peter Dudar: Peter N. Dudar is a proud member of the New England Horror Writers. His fiction has been published in numerous anthologies and websites over the past decade, and writes a column called “Me and Lil’ Stevie” at CinemaKnifeFight.com, where he reviews films based on the works of Stephen King. His debut novel, A Requiem for Dead Flies, was released this past June by Nightscape Press. Dudar lives in Lisbon Falls and decorates his yard every Halloween.

Jen Blood: Jen Blood is a freelance writer and editor, and author of the Amazon bestselling Erin Solomon mystery series. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing/Pop Fiction from the University of Southern Maine, and teaches seminars and one-on-one tutorials on social media and online marketing for authors.

Katherine Silva: Katherine Silva is a MidCoast Maine author of dark fiction, connoisseur of coffee, and victim of crazy cat shenanigans. In 2010, she published her first book Vox: Book 1 of The Monstrum Chronicles, a supernatural horror series and in August, she publishedAcquolina, the first short story in the series exclusively on Amazon Kindle. She followed both of those up in October this year with her second book, Aequitas. She is also a member of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance. Currently, she resides in Rockland, Maine working on the rest of the books in “The Monstrum Chronicles” as well as other projects.
