Haunted Fables from the Gables
October 21, 2025 at 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Join Salem’s master storyteller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, for a frightful evening of thrills and chills in the gloomy shadow of his Concord haunts! The famous author reads his most frightening tales, as well as the terrifying works of fellow writer, Edgar Allan Poe. Stories include “The House of the Seven Gables,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” “Annabel Lee,” “Young Goodman Brown,” “The Raven,” and more. Experience the greatest Gothic horror stories ever written, read by one of the authors himself! Appropriate for families with brave children 10 and up.
We are grateful for our last-minute stand-in Stephen Collins for playing the role of Nathaniel Hawthorne due to unforeseen circumstances from our original performer. Stephen will be giving a dramatic reading of the script. We are so grateful that he is making it possible for the show to go on!
Part of the Concord Festival of Authors. Co-sponsored by the Concord Museum, House of Seven Gables, and Old Manse. Hosted at the Concord Museum.
$15 Concord Museum, Trustees, and House of Seven Gables Members | $20 Non-Members
