Well, Halloween is almost here, and we have some tricks. Treats, as always, are not guaranteed, but to be expected. To ease us into the holiday season we have asked our friend Michael McNamara to swing by the store to tell us all some sinister tales from the spectral realm. McNamara has 40+ years of experience in the theatre from acting to directing and producing, but more importantly he has memorized the entirety of The Raven, with all of its mysterious alliterations and talking birds. Please join us on October 27th, 29th and 30th beginning at 3pm. The performances are about ten minutes in length, and are all free to attend. 

Gather at Dogtown Books, 132 Main St.Gloucester.

Only this and nothing more.
