SUMMARY:Signing with Heather Morris\, Jan. 19\, 3 p.m.\, The Haunted Book Shop
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Haunted Book Shop on January 19th\, 3pm\, for an appearance by The Haunted States of America contributor Heather Morris. Her debut children’s book “TRUNK GOES THUNK!” has hit the shelves of The Haunted Book Shop and we’re ready for every word and beautiful illustration. \nMorris’s “TRUNK GOES THUNK\,” employs a lyrical voice and the innovative use of word opposites to unravel a narrative on how forest creatures ingeniously repurpose a fallen trunk\, crafting it into a log bridge. The tale abounds with all the charm and whimsicality nature has to offer. It’s a playful\, enlightening spin on the circle of life in a forest\, encouraging our younger audience to view their surroundings with fresh\, curious eyes. \nThe Haunted States of America explores urban legends with fifty-two unique stories from multiple authors\, including Morris\, and takes adventurous readers on a spooky cross-country tour of the United States\, with eerie detours to D.C. and Puerto Rico. Each tale introduces a new frightful entity\, threading a thrilling narrative of monsters\, embellished tales\, and poltergeists. \nThis event celebrates storytelling\, examining the balance between the beauty found in nature and the haunting whispers of American folklore. Don’t miss your chance to dive into the imaginative worlds these stories offer. \nMake your reservation today!
