Scare the Stress Away: Hot Off the Presses
Monday, October 28, 2024
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
JKM Library, McGuire Room (310)
Feeling overwhelmed, lonely, stressed? Come take a deep breath, let out a blood-curdling scream, and give your brain a break with spooky crafts at the JKM Library’s Scare the Stress Away series. Snacks will be provided.
During each session, attendees can create a preselected craft based on a spooky book, or you can play around with the provided crafting supplies to create a horror of your own devising. You can also spend the time simply staring into the void.
Supplies will be provided, but you are welcome to bring found objects and supplies of your own if you’d like to create something specific during the hour-long session.
Let’s create beautiful blackout poetry wall art using newspaper articles about the Johnstown Flood as our main medium with plenty of ways to embellish and decorate your work. Create something fit for your wall that is guaranteed to spark discussion.
Prompt inspired by Jackal by Erin E. Adams, a crime horror set in Johnstown, PA following a woman exploring the disappearances of young Black girls. Creepy forests and crumbling Rust Belt infrastructure make an appearance.
The books used to create the prompts are part of the Summer Scares program, which is sponsored by the Horror Writers Association (HWA), in partnership with United for Libraries, Book Riot, and Booklist.
