Nathaniel Hawthorne: America’s First Goth is in ONE WEEK! Join us on May 29 at 6:00 P.M. for a lecture by Thomas O’Brien Vallor. 🦇🕯️ Long before black eyeliner and vampire aesthetics, Nathaniel Hawthorne was wading through the fog of America’s moral and psychological darkness as he wandered the streets of Salem. Thomas believes that Hawthorne’s brooding prose and obsession with the darker side of human nature earned him the title of America’s first goth.
