About the event
Being a hero means being courageous, and in a world filled with wolves: kindness is strength, and authenticity is the bravest choice. As we enter the spooky season, join us for an evening of powerful and compelling readings and a game like no other. Memento Vivere Press presents Ynes Freeman, author of Beautiful Serpent, Restless Embers (gothic fiction/black metal fantasy) and Angélique Jamail, author of A Narrowing Path (urban fantasy/magic realism). Get inspired by the unique heroines of these novels as they navigate the darkness of their lives and find their authentic selves.
Then, it’s your turn to join the adventure! Sharpen your deduction skills–or play as a trickster–in a game of The Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow. This unique, fast-paced, card game can host up to 47 people. At the start, you'll be assigned an identity, either werewolf or hero, and the goal is simple: the heroes must identify and rid their town of all the werewolves. . . before the wolves devour them all. Will the wolves stay hidden and silently hunt the heroes one by one, or will the heroes prevail? You decide. Bring your friends along for a great time filled with laughter and learning!
