THURSDAY December 27th at 7pm: HAUNTED CHRISTMAS

"A Ghost Hunt on Christmas Eve?"

HAUNTED CHRISTMAS

When sensible and level-headed Beatrice Casson decides to spend Christmas in a hotel in the wilds of Scotland it was the “old fashioned Christmas” experience promised in the brochure that was the attraction. – The smell of pine trees, crackling log fires, mulled wine, tangerines, walnuts and frosted forest walks. What she had not noticed in the itinerary was the ghost-hunt planned for Christmas Eve. Bea didn’t believe in ghosts. So who was the pale young girl who visited her room during a power cut on the night she arrived? And how was it that suddenly Bea found herself helping a medium reunite a mother and daughter who had been roaming the hotel searching for each other for hundreds of years?

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 22nd at 10am: ALICES RESTAURANT MASSACREE

ALICE'S RESTAURANT REVISITED

The song is one of Arlo Guthrie's most prominent works, based on a true incident from his life that began on Thanksgiving Day 1965 with a citation for littering, and ended with the refusal of the U.S. Army to draft him because of his conviction for that crime. The ironic punch line of the story is that, in the words of Guthrie, "I'm sittin' here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough to join the Army - burn women, kids, houses and villages - after bein' a litterbug." The final part of the song is an encouragement for the listeners to sing along, to resist the draft, and to end war.

The "song" is in fact a spoken monologue, presented by Shandon Loring today for your listening pleasure or just to groan at and be Thankful when it's over.

THURSDAY November 1st at 7pm: THE UPPER BERTH

THE UPPER BERTH

"something ghostly moved in my grip"

“I remember that the sensation as I put my hands forward was as though I were plunging them into the air of a damp cellar, and from behind the curtains came a gust of wind that smelled horribly of stagnant sea-water. I laid hold of something that had the shape of a man’s arm, but was smooth, and wet, and icy cold.”

THURSDAY October 25th at 7pm: HALLOWEEN RITUALS

"Ghosties and ghoulies on the prowl "

HALLOWE'EN RITUALS

Ghosties and ghoulies on the prowl on All Hallows Eve, ready to steal away the innocent, and punish the guilty. Old scores settled in the dead of night, by demons and lost souls who have slipped through the divide between our world and the mystical.

Books are magical things when you let your imagination run riot, as you take in the sights and sounds, and even the smells of a story. The Halloween season is one of the greatest times of all to make use of all of those senses, and ingest everything a story can bring you.

You don’t need Hollywood’s multi-million-dollar blockbusters to scare you at Halloween. All you need is a well-written story and an imagination to go with it, and all your fears will come true

Tonight's stories take place on THE night itself...

RITUAL
Bored one Halloween night, two couples follow a map from an old book of ghost stories to an abandoned nineteenth century church. To their horror, the book left out a few key details.

PUMPKIN REX
The King was dimly aware that he’d once had another name, but that no longer mattered. He’d arrived at last, to rule over his realm with his witch-queen at his side. Starting from tonight, time would be obsolete and useless; it would always be “Midnight on Halloween”, and the world would always belong to the October creatures.

Dusk is when trick or treating begins, join us tonight and enter the world of Halloween chills that is "Doorbells at Dusk", watch out for those trick or treaters.....they could just be harmless, innocent children, out for a night of fun and candy, or they could be monsters, intent on possessing you, attacking you, or invading your home, never to leave! As we stroll further along, and notice the neat, lifelike Halloween decorations in the yard of the most enthusiastic Halloween lover, do those decorations look a bit too.....lifelike....or, is the late hour just playing tricks on your mind? Does that wicked carved jack o lantern seem to be speaking to you, putting murderously evil thoughts in your mind, or are you just getting a little TOO much into the spirit of the season? Does that scarecrow on the next porch appear a bit too lifelike, or have you watched one too many horror movies? And what's the matter with that huge mansion at the end of the street, the one with no Halloween decorations whatsoever, that, as a matter of fact, appears completely deserted? Dare you ring the doorbell, or should you be satisfied with your bounty of Halloween goodies? If you want the answers to these, as well as many more, disturbing questions.. Join us at The Seanchai Library!

Tonight's stories take place on THE night itself...

A PLAGUE OF MONSTERS
Gus wonders why no one else sees the monsters coming to his door.

THURSDAY July 12th at 7pm: Monsters & Myths - PROCRUSTES pt2

"human friendship, crafty planning, murderous intentions"

Monsters & Myths - PROCRUSTES

Procrustes is the most infamous of those monstrous brigands who made life miserable for travelers along the mountain road from Troezen to Athens. He kept an inn in which there was a special bedchamber with a very special bed. Guests who sought repose there found themselves shackled to the bed frame. He stretches the victim if he is too short, or lops off his feet or head if too long. Procrustes acts in cahoots with his three sons, each of whom practices his own peculiar form of banditry along the mountain road. High adventure, cunning, and suspense are at play when the young hero Theseus is challenged to combat this family of ogres and rid the road forever of their murderous deeds. Here is a stirring tale of youthful confidence and bravery, human friendship, crafty planning, murderous intentions, and sworn vengeance within the turbulent world of myth occupied by heroes, gods, and monsters.

THE HAUNTER OF THE DARK

In Providence, Rhode Island, Robert Blake, a young writer with an interest in the occult, becomes fascinated by a large disused church on Federal Hill which he can see from his lodgings on the city's Upper East side. His researches reveal that the church has a sinister history involving a cult called the Church of Starry Wisdom and is dreaded by the local migrant inhabitants as being haunted by a primeval evil.

However, when the city electric power is weakened during a thunderstorm, the local people are terrified by the sounds coming from the church.

JOIN US FOR 6:30pm SPECIAL Pre-Show Story!!

When we will present that excerpt from the book 'Ready Player One'

When Parzival plays the song Discovery from the Rush:2112 album it leads to a hidden message essential to unlocking the third gate after finding the Crystal Key!

"We have assumed control"

RUSH 2112: ANTHEM

Tonight we complete our exploration of a famous musical album and the two stories behind it...

2112 is concept album by the band RUSH released in 1976 that uses music to tell a dystopian story set in the year 2112...

In the year 2062, a galaxy-wide war results in the union of all planets under the rule of the Red Star of the Solar Federation. By 2112, the world is controlled by the "Priests of the Temples of Syrinx", who determine the content of every facet of life. Then a man discovers a guitar and learns to play different kind of music.

The album is loosely based on the novella 'Anthem' by Ayn Rand that takes place at an unspecified future date when mankind has entered another Dark Age. Technological advancement is now carefully planned and the concept of individuality has been eliminated. A young man known as Equality 7-2521 rebels by doing secret scientific research. When his activity is discovered, he flees into the wilderness with the girl he loves.
