Join us at The Bowtie Project for an evening around the fire as authors Ben Ehrenreich and Jen Hofer select and read slightly spooky stories as the full moon rises over the LA River.

This event is free and open to the public. Clockshop suggests a $5 donation to support our Reading and Listening by Moonrise series.
