On October 30th, step into an evening where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, blending literary enchantment with celestial celebration. Dress as your favorite literary character or beloved author and get ready to dance until the witching hour.

The night begins with spine-chilling New England ghost stories from Rebecca Turkewitz’s new book, Here in the Night. Following this, enjoy a captivating reading from Mira Ptacin’s latest novel, The In-Betweens, which explores the history of Mysticism and Mediums in Maine. Psychic Medium Julie K. Gray will provide fascinating insights and will invite guests to our mysterious fourth-floor clerestory for an exclusive Divination with Pendulums session.

As the evening unfolds, local DJs will keep the dance floor alive, Cocktail Mary will serve refreshments, and guests can experience additional surprises, including tarot readings in the library. Join us for a night of enchantment, mysticism, and revelry!

Proceeds from this event support literary programming at Mechanics’ Hall and the restoration of our building.
