Join Residential College faculty and a recent RC creative writing program graduate for an evening of spooky readings from “Ghost Writers: Us Haunting Them,” a new collection of Michigan-themed ghost stories.

The presentation is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Benzinger Library, East Quad, and is hosted by the RC.

To create the book, editors Keith Taylor and Laura Kasischke asked 12 noted Michigan writers to submit new stories on one subject: ghosts. The resulting collection is a mix of tales by some of the state’s award-winning writers.

Some of the pieces are true stories written by nonbelievers, while others are fiction and can be funny, bittersweet, spooky or sinister. All share Michigan as a setting, bringing history and a sense of place to the eerie collection.

Scheduled to read are RC and U-M faculty writers Lolita Hernandez, Laura Thomas and Laura Kasischke; author Elizabeth Schmuhl (RC ’07); and author Steve Amick. Poet and faculty member Keith Taylor will moderate.
