Join Kristin as we discuss Phantasmagoria, its connection to Deism, and early forays into man’s endless quest to commune with the dead, and the beyond. Learn how Charles Brockden Brown was influenced by murders committed by self-proclaimed Deists, in the Age of Enlightenment, and how those murders aided in the writing of America’s first true gothic novel. It’s not Poe, it’s certainly not Hawthorne, and it involves a whole lot of murder and nationalistic debate! Since when are politics not spooky…
