Mansion After Hours: Gothic Tales in the Gloaming
Event Category: Culture & History
About the Event
Step into the shadows of the Barker Mansion for a chilling evening of dramatic readings spanning 200 years of gothic literature—from the haunting paranoia of The Tell-Tale Heart to the eerie twist of The Monkey’s Paw.
Join presenter Grant Fitch as he brings to life stories of ghosts and gunmen, monsters and madmen, and unforgettable deals with the devil. Featuring the works of Poe, Lovecraft, Hitchcock, and more, this special after-hours program explores the darkest corners of classic horror and modern suspense. Dare to listen?
Guests will enjoy after-hours access to the mansion, atmospheric lighting, and light refreshments as the historic halls echo with the unsettling and the uncanny.
