"Pale Horse, Pale Rider" Readalong Meeting
October 27th

The Clarke County Historical Association

FREE

This Halloween season, join our Curator, Dana Getka, for a read-along of Katherine Anne Porter’s, "Pale Horse, Pale Rider," the Spanish flu’s most (in)famous story.

This short, autobiographical novella follows young Miranda through the fever dream of wartime, flu-infested Denver as she falls in love with a soldier shortly to leave for France. By turns a doomed romance and a pandemic thriller, Pale Horse opens a chilling portal onto the devastating effects of the Spanish flu on both society and the human body, written by a woman who lived to tell the tale.

If you enjoyed CCHA’s Spanish flu exhibit, you’ll love this book. Find a copy of it at your local library, bookstore, or online at https://archive.org/details/palehorsepalerid00port. Then join us for coffee, tea, and discussion at the CCHA museum, on October 27, 2025, at 12 noon. Please feel free to bring your lunch!
