Monday, November 2, 2026 | 5:00–8:00 PM
The Emporium Spooky Goods and More | Bangor, Maine
There are stories that entertain us. There are stories that frighten us. And then there are stories that connect us to the people, traditions, memories, and cultures that came before us.
On Monday, November 2, 2026, The Emporium Spooky Goods and More in Bangor will host a special Día de Muertos author event, bringing together readers and writers for an evening celebrating storytelling, culture, folklore, and the darker side of literature.
From horror and paranormal fiction to dark storytelling and supernatural tales, the evening will give guests an opportunity to meet authors, discover new books, purchase signed copies, and talk directly with the writers behind the stories.
A Night of Authors, Stories, and the Supernatural
Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, provides a meaningful backdrop for an evening centered around stories and the ways we remember, preserve, and share them.
This special event is designed to complement the unique atmosphere of The Emporium Spooky Goods and More while creating an intimate gathering for readers, authors, horror fans, and anyone fascinated by folklore and the supernatural.
Attendees can expect conversations that explore everything from horror and paranormal experiences to folklore, culture, death, and the traditions that inspire storytelling.
It's an opportunity to go beyond the pages of a book and meet the people creating the stories.
Meet Maine Authors and Discover Your Next Read
One of the best parts of an author event is the opportunity to discover something you might never have found on your own.
Guests will have the chance to browse books, talk with authors about their work, ask questions, and purchase signed copies directly from the writers.
Whether you're a dedicated horror reader, a fan of paranormal fiction, fascinated by folklore, or simply looking for something new to add to your bookshelf, there will be plenty of stories waiting to be discovered.
And for readers who enjoy knowing the person behind the pages, this is your chance to make those connections.
What to Expect
The evening will feature:
Horror, paranormal, and supernatural authors
Author meet-and-greets
Signed books available for purchase
A Día de Muertos-inspired atmosphere and programming
Opportunities to connect with Maine writers and fellow readers
The goal is to create an evening that feels authentic, welcoming, and community-driven while celebrating the power of storytelling.
Celebrate the Stories We Carry With Us
Día de Muertos is a time associated with remembering and honoring those who have passed, making storytelling an especially fitting part of the evening.
Books allow stories to travel through generations. Authors keep ideas, legends, memories, fears, and experiences alive by putting them into words.
That's what makes this gathering more than simply an opportunity to buy books.
It's a chance to meet the storytellers keeping those stories alive.
So come to The Emporium Spooky Goods and More on November 2. Meet an author. Find a new book. Have a conversation about the strange, the supernatural, and the stories that refuse to disappear.
