Financial struggles, misfortune, and disarray plague the Solinger Writers' Group
On a chilly Friday the 13th, the Atelier Pest Projekt played host to the Solingen Authors' Round and Friends, as they held a captivating reading event themed around horror, thrillers, and holiday mishaps. Organized by Pascal Herder, the evening promised an eerie and engaging experience for all attendees.
The event, titled "Mishaps, Bad Luck, and Blunders," began with a humorous twist as Martina Hörle read a poem explaining the absence of sweets for Christmas, with angels, gnomes, and Santa's reindeer being the culprits. This light-hearted start set the tone for an evening filled with laughter and intrigue.
One of the highlights of the night was Remy Matelot's enchanting story, "Dance of the Ice Nymphs," which left the audience spellbound. Kay Ganahl also caused a stir with his bizarre winter walk story, evoking laughter and indignation in equal measure.
The musical story of the night, a walk through a snowy city, was a collaborative effort between Martina Hörle, who described the scenes, and Kerstin Ehmke-Putsch, who sang appropriate Christmas songs. Kerstin's performance included a unique adaptation of "Jingle Bells," titled "Single Malt," which was a hit with the audience.
In a more suspenseful turn, Dirk Steinert's story saw the Grinch's evil plans thwarted by the Master of Time. Markus Missing's tale also brought a touch of Christmas magic, as he transformed Mathilda's broken Christmas tree topper into good luck for the next Christmas, with a more beautiful topper as a gift under the tree.
The evening concluded on a high note, with the authors providing chilling, suspenseful, and spooky stories that perfectly fit the Friday the 13th atmosphere. The Solingen Authors' Round and Friends once again proved why they are a must-see for anyone looking for an engaging and entertaining literary experience.
Under the theme "Mishaps, Bad Luck, and Blunders," Remy Matelot's captivating story, "Dance of the Ice Nymphs," was shared on social media, becoming a topic of pop-culture discussion. The reader's circle also delved into books like Markus Missing's tale, which integrated a magical transformation of a Christmas tree topper, showcasing the blend of entertainment and holiday spirit that the group consistently presents.
