Noir at the Bar

  • Novel 643 Congress St Portland, ME 04101 United States of America (map)

On the night before the Maine Crime Wave, join us for a night of suspense, betrayal, and retribution from Maine's crime writing community at Novel Bar & Café. Hosted by Matt Cost and Jule Selbo, the night will feature a criminally phenomenal line up of writers including Brenda Buchanan, Richard Cass, Bruce Robert Coffin, Paul Dorion, Mo Drammeh, Julia Spencer Flemming, Kate Flora, Chris Holm, Barbara Ross, Gabriela Stiteler, and Katie York.

Doors open at 6:30, but the event starts at 7:00! The event will take place in the Speakeasy at Novel Bar and Cafe, not in the main area.

Arrive at 6:30 to grab a drink, connect with members of the crime writing community, purchase some books from Kelly's Bookstore, and settle in for twisted tales read by masters of the craft, trivia, and prizes.
