Join Mark Danielewski as he presents a theatrical reading of "The Fifty Year Sword." The national best-selling author of "House of Leaves" and "Only Revolutions" has crafted a chilling novella -- a ghost story for grown-ups. Chris O'Riley, host of National Public Radio's "From the Top," will be the pianist.

Admission is $10; each ticket can be redeemed for $10 off the cover price of the "The Fifty Year Sword" at the event.
