Louisa Hall, associate professor of English, will read from her 2023 novel, Reproduction,  the story of a woman attempting to write a novel about Mary Shelley, then turning, instead, to write a contemporary Frankenstein.

Bennett Sims, associate professor of English, will read from Other Minds and Other Stories, his collection of 12 stories that guide the reader through  the paranoia and obsession of everyday horrors, not least the horrors of overthinking what other people might be thinking.
