THURSDAY September 26th at 7pm: THERE IS NO PLACE FOR SORROW IN THE KINGDOM OF THE COLD

 

"The dolls listened in silent approval."

THERE IS NO PLACE FOR SORROW

IN THE KINGDOM OF THE COLD

A modern folktale by Seanan McGuire
- followed at 9pm by The Ravening Monster -

A maker of dolls is so much more than a simple toymaker. We craft dreams. We craft vessels. We open doorways into the Kingdom of the Cold, where frozen faces look eternally on the world, and do not yearn, and do not cry.

Sorrow is surprisingly malleable, capable of adjusting its shape to fit the box that holds it, but it fights moving from one place to another, and it has thorns. Sorrow is a bramble of the heart and a weed of the mind . . .
