Tris McCall Story Hour

Hi, I’m Tris McCall. Let me tell you a tale for the turning of the year.  It’s a feel-good story about a demon.

Oh, I know what you’re thinking. But Rafe is really not that bad — or at least he doesn’t seem that way. He’s up from the Pit on holiday, and he wants to play the drums. After centuries of torment, it would be churlish to deny him the opportunity, don’t you think?

So we’ll do what we can for him. I’ll read about him from McCall’s Almanac, my collection of short stories, assisted by some equally diabolical friends of mine. We’ll sing and play some relevant songs and make a (slightly) unholy racket. And we’ll have a few of my favorite visual artists on hand to help bring him to life.

Though Rafe is mostly out for himself (demons do tend to be that way), you’ll find he has some serious reflections for you on the nature of art, relationships, free will, and the autonomy of the spirit. You are invited to our literary and musical ceremony.  Please mark your calendars accordingly.
