NJSN is proud of its talented members!
During the month of January, NJSN is sharing - virtually - “A Christmas Ghost Story” told by storyteller Ken Karnas.
Please click “SMEE: A Christmas Ghost Story” that will take you to Ken’s telling.
About the Story:
“SMEE: A Christmas Ghost Story” brings us back to the Victorian tradition of telling ghost stories during the winter solstice, holiday season…into the New Year. We enjoy Christmas ghost stories by authors such Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, and Washington Irving. Karnas points out the phrase “scary ghost stories” in the lyrics of the popular song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”
About the Storyteller:
Ken Karnas is a seasoned storyteller. Before his retirement as a public school educator, he enhanced his middle school classroom lessons through stories and storytelling. He now tells stories throughout New Jersey at schools, libraries, museums, and festivals. He is currently NJSN’s vice president and promotes the mission of NJSN to “spread the art of the spoken word through storytelling.”
