Michael Hughes, author of horror fiction, psychic entertainer and paranormal expert, will discuss The Wizard of Earthsea with an introduction of related magic and mentalism. The Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin is a much-admired classic about the quest of a young wizard and the magical power of words that can literally disturb the universe. After the presentation, meet Hughes for a “digital book-signing” of Blackwater Lights or his other horror novels and pick up a free copy of The Wizard of Earthsea. This event is funded by the Big Read, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
