MiamiOH.edu/Regionals/Libraries | HicksJL2@MiamiOH.edu Leanna Renee Hieber: “America’s Most Gothic: Haunted History Stranger than Fiction” Leanna Renee Hieber Oct. 16 | 6 p.m. | Verity Lodge | Middletown Campus Bestselling author, actress, and ghost tour guide Leanna Renee Hieber discusses how the classic tropes and atmosphere of Gothic literature affect how we tell ghost stories to this day. The premise of her newest nonfiction book with Kensington Books, co-authored with Andrea Janes, features haunted history that evokes the foreboding atmosphere, curses, domineering figures, and women in peril that pervade Gothic fiction, expectations that add to the staying power of weird history that is truly stranger than fiction. She’ll discuss her Ohio-based chapters on the powerful President Helen Peabody, who oversaw Miami’s adjoining Western College for Women in the 19th century and who haunts her old building to this day, in addition to other Ohio-based haunts full of personal experiences.
