The Morris-Jumel Mansion, in collaboration with
Riverdale Avenue Books, will hold a Paranormal Victorian Holiday Event celebrating
the publication of The Morris-Jumel
Mansion Anthology of Fantasy and
Paranormal Fiction on Tuesday,
December 20th from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. Address: Morris-Jumel Mansion, 65 Jumel Terrace, 10032. C train to 163rd Street in Washington Heights.
The evening will include readings from the anthology by award-winning
fantasy writer Leanna Renee Heiber, author Gina Marie Guadagnino, and the radio
play “Eliza’s House.” Guests will be given an overview of paranormal activity
at the Mansion, served hot spiced wine and cider, and holiday singing will
close the evening’s festivities. Victorian attire is encouraged, but not
required. Digital copies of the book are available for review, and books will
be for sale at the event.
The anthology features 14 tales set in the Morris-Jumel
Mansion, Manhattan’s oldest house, which quartered General George Washington
during the Battle of Harlem Heights, and was subsequently the home of the
infamous Aaron Burr and his wife, Eliza Jumel, who reputedly still haunts the
grounds. The Anthology's tales are ghost stories, science fiction, mystery,
romance, erotica, time travel, visions of the afterlife, and paranormal
fantasy. https://www.amazon.com/Morris-Jumel-Mansion-Anthology-Fantasy-Paranormal/dp/1626013071
“What is particularly
gratifying about this collection of stories is its diversity,” said Camilla Saly-Monzingo, editor of the anthology.
“The contributing writers are Latino, African-American, white, gay,
straight, bisexual. They are millenials, in mid-life, and older adults. They
are parents, childfree, single and partnered.”
The Morris Jumel Mansion Anthology of
Paranormal and Fantasy Fiction, edited by Camilla Saly-Monzingo, is available at Riverdale Avenue Books, Amazon, iTunes, and wherever books are sold. Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/106718393149248/
