A new Book Festival is coming to Framingham this summer! The first annual Dark Summer Book Fest invades the Framingham Public Library on Saturday, August 8th, 2026. This one's for all the dark fiction lovers, whether your particular interest is crime fiction, horror, fantasy, paranormal romance, weird westerns, literary fiction, or any number of other things!

 

Walk ins are more than welcome, but if you'd like to register for a reminder email and/or to get added to our Dark Fiction/Genre Author Event email list, please fill out this form:
