But something dark and dangerous lurks at the edges of the town, corrupting and infecting its residents. Vampires and ghosts haunt the dreams of the innocent. A powerful curse besets the elite families of Princeton--their daughters begin disappearing, including a young bride on the verge of the altar.
When the bride's brother sets out to find her, his path will cross those of Princeton's most formidable people, from Grover Cleveland to Woodrow Wilson to Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain--all plagued by "accursed" visions.

Joyce Carol Oates is one of America’s most significant and honoured writers, a key figure in the English–language literary scene since the 1960s. From the 1966 story dedicated to Bob Dylan, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” to this year’s short–fiction collection Sourland, she has published more than fifty novels, as well as many volumes of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction. She has written Goth and horror fiction, mysteries under the pen names “Rosamond Smith” and “Lauren Kelly,” and stories channelled from the Portuguese. Astoundingly prolific and fascinated by evolving culture, her work mixes Gothic estrangement with high social observation in such classics as Wonderland, Blonde, On Boxing, Foxfire, We Were the Mulvaneys, and The Falls. A unique reading and talk, followed by an onstage conversation with premier Canadian novelist Jane Urquhart. Venue: Grand Theatre, Regina Rosen Auditorium. Tickets: $20.00.

In this special evening, Joyce Carol Oates, reflects on the trajectory of her remarkable career—from growing up with meager means on a farm in rural New York, to the people, places, and events that influenced and inspired her, to her approach to writing and the writer’s life. Since winning the Mademoiselle College Fiction contest 50 years ago at age 19, Oates has become one of the world’s most eminent writers. She is credited with producing some of the most enduring fiction of our time, including We Were the Mulvaneys, Blonde, The Falls, and The Gravedigger’s Daughter. To date, she has written 56 novels, 32 collections of short stories, and 8 volumes of poetry, as well as drama, young adult and children’s fiction, and numerous nonfiction works. She has received the National Book Award, the PEN/ Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction, and the Kenyon Review Award for Literary Achievement. Since 1978, Oates has taught in the creative writing program at Princeton University, where she is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of Humanities.

Admission $5"Poe, Dickinson, Twain, James, and Hemingway… some of the most revered writers in the canon are now brought back to life and death by the fertile mind of Joyce Carol Oates. In Wild Nights!,Oates reimagines the final days of these literary legends, weaving each story with its own unique and delicious twist. Poe becomes a solitary lighthouse keeper in the South Pacific, Henry James endures working in the visceral conditions of a London hospital in 1914, and in Emily Dickinson’s case, her tale centers on her rebirth in the New Jersey of the future."
