A new take on A Christmas Carol

Ebenezer Scrooge learned the importance of appreciating his community. And now, author Ryan Spero will share his appreciation of his community. Raised and educated in Edison (including Middlesex College), Ryan will tell us how his love of the Edison Public Library fostered his love of fantasy and horror, and inspired him to write Holiday Gatherings: a Noel Night to Remember, his self-aware adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. He will tell us about the process of editing, designing and self-publishing, and how that culminated in the completion of his first horror anthology, Hidden Secrets: Declare Your Major.
