Local author Josh Malerman and composer Steve Greene join forces for ghost story reading

You might know local musician Josh Malerman from his work with the High Strung, but the rocker has more talents than just music. He’s also an author, and he’s releasing a new book of short Halloween stories called Goblin. On this evening he will perform a reading from the text while composer Steve Greene casts spooky synths that will help build the tension of the story. The evening will also include a Q&A session moderated by local music writer Jeff Milo.

The event, entitled Josh Malerman and Steve Greene Know What Scares You, is on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Ferndale Area District Library. 222 E. Nine Mile Rd., Ferndale; 248-546-2504; ferndalepubliclibrary.org; free.
