Meeting Room 2ABJoin us for a late night at Main Library! Local author Katherine Kerestman tells of her adventures prowling around haunted towers, crumbling castles, and ghoulish graveyards.
Katherine Kerestman joins us for Late Night @ The Library for a deliciously macabre journey to destinations near and far; across the United States, Europe, China, and Mexico, exploring not only well known sites such a Dracula's Castle in Transylvania, or the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast in Fall River, Massachusetts, but traveling down paths perhaps a bit less well trodden, such as Adams, Tennessee's Bell Witch cave, and the graveyard in Evans City, Pennsylvania, made famous in director George Romero's genre-defining classic film, Night of the Living Dead.
Instead of simply rehashing the same old travelogue mantra, Kerestman dives deep into the culture, the cuisine, the humanity of each site she visits, and shares her discoveries with her fans.
