This event has been postponed to later in the year!

Hear Jack London’s master storyteller Jeff Falconer read the short story  “A Thousand Deaths,”  on Sunday, February 6, 2022, in the House of Happy Walls museum.

“A Thousand Deaths,” is a pseudoscientific tale about a mad scientist who uses his son as a subject in a series of experiments.  It was an early short story published in 1899 during a desperate period in London’s life as he was attempting to gain a footing in the literary world while trying to put food on the family table. Published by “The Black Cat,” a five-cent monthly magazine devoted exclusively to original, unusual, fascinating stories.

A discussion will follow the reading.
