DESCRIPTION:« All Events\n 				\n				\n				\n				\n					This event has passed. \n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n	Third Lantern Lit presents On Haunted Ground: Writing the Southern Gothic				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n		\n			April 7\, 2026\n\n	\n\n	  |  \n\n\n6:00 pm\n\n		\n\n\n\n	\n	  -  \n\n8:00 pm\n\n\n\n	\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n	\n				\n				\n				\n				\n									The Southern Gothic is a genre that draws its inspiration from the shadowed parts of the American South\, where folklore\, superstition\, buried histories\, and complex social hierarchies shape the ground beneath our feet. Its motifs center the weight of violence and the grotesque\, and in its stories the past is never past; it lingers\, shaping the present in unsettling ways. Presented by Third Lantern Lit\, this generative workshop explores the rich tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling\, where place\, landscape\, memory\, and the supernatural intertwine. Through guided prompts and short exercises\, participants will begin developing their own stories\, with an emphasis on atmosphere and haunting. By the end of the session\, writers will leave with the start of a new piece and practical tools to keep building beyond the workshop. This event is free and open to the community.
