SATURDAY. October 24th at 1pm: TALES AT THE HOLLOW - The Witch's Headstone

Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a perfectly normal boy. Well, he would be perfectly normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the world of the dead.

There are dangers and adventures for Bod in the graveyard: but it is in the land of the living that real danger lurks, for it is there that the man Jack lives and he has already killed Bod's family.

A deliciously dark masterwork by bestselling author Neil Gaiman. Caledonia reads "The Witch's Gravestone"  - the short story that was the springing point for this award winning novel.

There will be a teleport from the main landing point. NOTE: While Isle of Joy is an adult region, none of the content of Haunted Hollow is adult in nature.

TUESDAY, October 29th @7PM: Selections from THE GRAVEYARD BOOK

Caledonia shares a selection from one of her personal favorite books, by award-winning author Neil Gaiman.  Gaiman won both the British Carnegie Medal and the American Newbery Medal recognizing year's best children's books, the first time both named the same work. The Graveyard Book also won the annual Hugo Award for Best Novel from the World Science Fiction Convention and Locus Award for Best Young Adult Book selected by Locus magazine subscribers

It takes a graveyard to raise a child.

Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy—an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family.

Presented Live in Voice.

WEDNESDAY, October 31st @ 7pm: "The Graveyard Book" and More!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Get your spook on and cozy up at the Library where Caledonia presents selections from Neil Gaiman's Newberry winning book about a human boy, Nobody Owens, growing up in a graveyard and being raised by the ghostly inhabitants therein.

In addition, hopefully, an original short story based on one of the Five Irish Haunts to be found on the Seanchai grounds during this most spookable of times.
