GREENWICH — Owl Pen Books will host Owloween at 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28.
The event celebrates the book store’s last weekend of the season with ghost stories and spooky readings from four award-winning literary horror writers, Glen Hirshberg, John Langan, Julia Rust, and David Surface. The authors will share original stories and be available for a Q&A and signings afterward. Seasonally appropriate refreshments like cider, donuts, and wine will be served.
Glen Hirshberg’s novels include The Snowman’s Children, Infinity Dreams, The Book of Bunk, and the Motherless Children trilogy; John Langan is the author of two novels and five collections of short stories. Julia Rust is a writer and teaching artist living in the Hudson Highlands. David Surface is the author of Terrible Things, a collection of thirteen stories published by Black Shuck Books.
Owl Pen Books is a used and antiquarian bookstore in a barn on a dirt road in rural Greenwich. Founded in 1960 by Barbara Probst, it was purchased in 2022 by Sydney Nichols and Eric Kufs, who uprooted their lives in Los Angeles to move across the country to take over the regionally beloved institution.
Owl Pen Books is open seasonally from April 29 through Oct.29, Wednesdays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The bookstore can be found online at www.OwlPenBooks.com and on Instagram and Facebook @owlpenbooks. It is located at 166 Riddle Rd, Greenwich.
