F@H's features a haunted Hemingway Birthplace so join us for an evening of literary ghost stories read by Chicago area writers. Featured authors will be announced as they are confirmed:
Ananda Lima is the author of Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil (Tor, 2024) and Mother/land (Black Lawrence Press, 2021), winner of the Hudson Prize. Her work has appeared in American Poetry Review, Poets.org, Kenyon Review, Electric Literature, and elsewhere. She is a Contributing Editor at Poets & Writers and Program Curator and Core Faculty at StoryStudio, Chicago. She has an MA in Linguistics (UCLA) and an MFA in Creative Writing (Rutgers University, Newark). Craft, her fiction debut, was longlisted for the Story Prize, the ALA Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, and received starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and Library Journal. The New York Times describes it as “a remarkable debut that announces the arrival of a towering talent in speculative fiction.” Lima is also a translator and a photographer. Originally from Brazil, she lives in Chicago and New York.
Nat Holtzmann is a writer and bookmaker who frequently collaborates across mediums with other artists. Her debut story collection, Slight (TEMPER Press, 2025), blurs the lines of short fiction and prose poetry to probe the dark waters of girlhood. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best Small Fictions, and is featured in or forthcoming from Chicago Review, Denver Quarterly, Salt Hill Journal, Necessary Fiction, The Minnesota Review, and elsewhere. She teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
