JUST DO IT: Creepy Lit 101

Already itching to get into the Halloween spirit? On Sat., Oct. 16 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Rosenbach Museum & Library (2008-2010 Delancey Place) is hosting three spookified writing workshops led by Poet-in-Residence Nathalie Anderson and fantasy fiction writer Gregory Frost. Here's what you can choose from: Whistling Through the Graveyard teaches you to compose fantastical tales in the vein of Bram Stoker or The Brothers Grimm; The Blackest Things: Writing the Fantastic is a Dracula-inspired discussion about using different narrative voices; and Ghastly Pale: Poets Shivering the Page draws from the lyrical strategies of Helen Adam and Edgar Allan Poe. When you finally put your pen down, look for Bram Stoker's original Dracula brainstorm notes in the Rosenbach collection; one tour even lets you hold them. That's worth the $30-$40 ticket price alone, right?
