Step into Purgatory, NY, and join a dynamic group of residents as they take shelter in a basement during a wild tornado. These residents discover pieces of literature to share and pass the time and explore works such as Thornton Wilder’s Mozart and the Gray Steward, Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market, Tara Meddaugh’s When Marshmallows Burn, Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven, Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and many other macabre tales—this imaginative group of neighbor’s bond over their shared passion for literature and creativity.
