CCLaP Performs "Podcast Dreadful" at Quimby’s 9/21

Join the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography (CCLaP) on Friday, September 21st, as it presents a live-audience episode of its new "Podcast Dreadful" serial literary anthology, at the popular Quimby's Bookstore in Wicker Park. Known for its annual themed compilation of local short work every fall

 

This year CCLaP is presenting this work as a free 12-part audiobook at its website cclapcenter.com/dreadful, every Monday in September, October and November; featuring a variety of celebrated authors both locally and across the US, each story in this collection has been written in the style of an old Victorian "penny dreadful," featuring cliffhangers each week and a dark, strange tone throughout.

 

Episode number 4 will be performed in front of a live audience at the famed indie-lit venue Quimby's, and will feature not only readings from local authors Davis Schneiderman, Jacob Knabb, Jason Fisk and CCLaP owner Jason Pettus, but also real-time radio-style sound effects by a specially assembled stage crew. Free refreshments will also be served that night, and with other CCLaP merchandise available for purchase.
