Christine D. Page launches All Hallows’ Eve
Wednesday, July 30, 2025 – 6:00pm
Join us in store for the launch of local author Christine D. Page’s new book All Hallows’ Eve, including a conversation with illustrator Dana Irwin, and a reading from the book’s main character Adelaide.
The event is free but registration is required to reserve your seat.
All Hallows’ Eve can be spooky, especially for Asheville kids who venture into the cemetery this night! A witch, a pirate, a werewolf, and a vampire play hide-and-seek among the gravestones as they visit the graves of some well-known Ashevillians. Come join the fun and learn a bit of local history along the way. As the four children find, if you are quiet—and if you listen long enough—the generations who have gone before us have stories to tell. When the kids wander through the darkening cemetery, they “meet” the angel in Thomas Wolfe’s famous novel. They are guided by the spirit of Isaac Dickson to do well in school, and they are inspired by George Masa’s photographs. They are told a story of true love when they visit O. Henry’s gravesite. They watch ghostly images of Zelda Fitzgerald and the Pink Lady drift past the clouds, and through the mist they might hear the faint sound of drums of Civil War soldiers. Come with us on an eerie adventure through the mystical world of Riverside Cemetery…if you dare!
