Description
Location: Vanderslice Hall
Contact: Margaret Cohen
Nancy Werlin writes literary psychological thrillers for young adults, among them The Rules of Survival, a 2006 National Book Award Finalist, and the Edgar-Award winning The Killer's Cousin. In an essay on fear in The Horn Book, she writes, "...I work out my fear using writing. And thus I know exactly how to map my fear onto my characters, so that you-the-reader can feel its reality. You will feel it not only because I am skilled at writing, but because my skill will force you, in turn, to map the characters' fears onto your own fears. To become one with them, and with me." Inspired by the ballad Scarborough Fair, her latest book, Impossible, combines suspense, fantasy and romance.

Boston College
Boston College is a private research university located in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, in the New England region of the United States. Its historic campus, one of the earliest examples of Collegiate Gothic architecture in North America, is set on a hilltop six miles (10 km) west of downtown Boston. Although chartered as a university by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1863, Boston College's name reflects its early history as a liberal arts college and preparatory school in Boston's South End. It was the first institution of higher education established in the city, though it later outgrew its urban location and moved to pastoral Chestnut Hill on the city's western edge. Boston College is one of the oldest and largest Jesuit universities in the United States and is home to one of the world's most prominent Catholic theological and philosophical faculties.Eventful Movies
