It was a terrific ally unpleasant experience—being murdered\, I mean to say. \nRaven Helen Allan has always been haunted by witchcraft. Since the death of her belov ed mother\, she has soothed herself by speaking words into spells—a proc livity enhanced by time spent with her aunt’s library of occult books. S he also finds a self-destructive solace in transmuting the pain in her hea rt onto her flesh. \nAfter an itinerant childhood spent first with her mot her’s traveling theater troupe and then being passed around from relativ e to relative\, Raven is relieved to finally settle down with Aunt Berenic e in her Baltimore townhouse—even if her aunt spends most evenings in a laudanum haze. There she finds a long-sought sense of belonging with the f amily of enslaved workers in her aunt’s household\, especially the brill iantly odd youngest daughter Pym. Raven’s infatuation with her friend on ly grows more intimate as the girls become women together. But when the ho usehold is threatened with financial ruin\, Raven must set out to earn her own living. \nTaking a job as a paid companion\, Raven arrives at the cru mbling Moldavia Manor. Her charge is a delicate young invalid named Lenore Legrand who haunts the Gothic structure like a phantom. Living with them is Lenore’s devoted older cousin Travanion\, who shares Raven’s intere st in the occult and devotes his days to searching ancient texts for an El ixir of Life that might cure his cousin. Raven finds herself inexorably dr awn to both cousins as well as to the secrets hidden in the shadows of Mol davia Manor. Will she find the answers she seeks in Trevanion’s alchemic al texts? What is the meaning of glowing green light emitted from the towe r windows? And is Raven truly narrating this story from beyond the grave —if so\, who murdered her? \nGothic and atmospheric\, Raven is an aching tale of loss\, freedom\, death\, and resurrection by the celebrated autho r of Jane Steele and Dust and Shadow. \nLyndsay Faye is the internationall y bestselling author of eight critically acclaimed novels and two short st ory collections. She has been published in fifteen languages\, nominated f or two Edgar Awards\, and received an American Library Association award f or Best Historical Novel. A notable writer of Sherlock Holmes pastiches in cluding Dust and Shadow and Observations by Gaslight\, she also particular ly enjoys upending classical literature\, as in Jane Steele\, which transf orms Jane Eyre into a feminist serial killer. A true New Yorker in the sen se that she was born elsewhere\, Faye lives in Queens with her husband Nic holas and her cat Prufrock. \nGeneral Event Information: \nSCHEDULE: \n5:3 0 PM – Doors open \n5:45 PM – Zoom meeting opens \n6:00 PM – Talk be gins \nVIRTUAL LIVESTREAMS: \nVirtual ticket holders will be sent a Zoom w ebinar link for the livestream the day of the event.
