Feb 25 6 - 7 PM	Carthage College Hedberg Library 2001 Alford Park Dr Kenosha, WI 53140	The Haunted Amusement Park: A Discussion of Stephen King's Joyland	Professor Maria Carrig and English major Thomas Cargille lead a discussion of this suspenseful and moving novel about a young man’s memorable summer working at an amusement park that is haunted by the ghost of an unsolved murder. Both a horror tale and coming-of-age story, Joyland speaks to Stephen King’s power as one of the U.S.’s most popular storytellers, who portrays an America struggling between its core values of hard work, good will and community, and the lure of violent, monstrous fantasies.
