Blue Jacket Books recently held an Edgar Allen Poe night.
The night had...
It started off with the owner, Elizabeth Svendson, introducing Poe
And reading "The Black Cat"
Samantha Siemer was next with "Haunted Houses"
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Followed by Rosi Mackey
"Who read The Haunted Oak" by Paul Lawrence Dunbar
The Tell-Tale Heart, a Poe classic was next
Read by Rod Varner
The Dead Call was read by Cathy Bengson
By William Nolan
Finally, we ended with Poe's most notable work
The Raven, read by Al Yarcho
Even though none of these stories were for little ones
There were stories in the children's corner
Refreshments were also served
And a centerpiece was donated from the Flower Stop
We had a great turnout
But to Quote the raven, this event is "Nevermore!"
(Until next year)

Blue Jacket Books
60 S. Detroit Street in Xenia (Right downtown)
A great way to show support for a local business, not to mention great stories
Completely free, but they do sell books.
More the older kids on up.
Young ones will probably get restless if they don't like to sit for long
