SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Christmas Ghost Stories
DESCRIPTION:Today\, the December holidays are all about joyous magic\, warm evenings curled by the fire\, and celebrations of the triumph of good and light in the world. Traditionally\, however\, the winter season also ushers in the terrors of the dark and the cold. One of the most fascinating\, long-established cultural traditions that blends these very different impulses is the Christmas ghost story. \nFolklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman of the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic trace the history of the winter ghost story\, sharing tales and exploring how it became tied to Christmas. They discuss tales from medieval Britain\, Christmas carols\, and the boom of periodicals in the 19th century and reveal the extent to which Charles Dickens is responsible for the Victorian Christmas ghost story craze. Lest Dickens get all the credit\, they also introduce you to other iconic writers of the era. Finally\, they explain why this tradition has largely faded and where traces remain. \nClick here to get your tickets!

SUMMARY:The December Book Club – Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 18th at 7PM ET to discuss Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree! December is the best time for cozy fantasy\, and we felt like we could all use some lower-stakes fun! \nHere’s the description: “After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed\, Viv is hanging up her sword for the last time. The battle-weary orc aims to start fresh\, opening the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success — not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is. If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her plans a reality\, she won’t be able to go it alone. But the true rewards of the uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way. And whether drawn together by ancient magic\, flaky pastry\, or a freshly brewed cup\, they may become partners\, family\, and something deeper than she ever could have dreamed.” \nAnd here are some reviews! \n“This is a story about following your dreams\, even when they take you away from who you thought you had to be. It’s sweet\, beautiful and\, most of all\, kind. I hugely recommend this book.” – Seanan McGuire\, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart A Doorway \n“A gentle little cozy set against an epic fantasy backdrop. . . . This charming outing will please anyone who’s ever wished to spend time in a fantasy world without all the quests and battles.” – Publishers Weekly \n“An orc retires from adventuring to start a fantasy city’s very first coffee shop. This setup combined with the positive messages of defying societal stereotypes\, letting go of violence to build peace\, and trusting in your friends feels like a premise from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. . . . Legends & Lattes is a novel\, and shop\, that will delight anyone who enjoys coffee-shop alternate universes\, slow-burn romances\, and the vindication of friendship.” – Booklist\, starred review \nTo join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for December!
