Mylene Dressler Releases Our Eyes at Night


Told in multiple points of view, Our Eyes at Night is a gothic, gripping novel of the West. It's part ghost story, part climate-lit, and part love story — a powerful, page-turning, and haunting tale from the award-winning and acclaimed writer Mylene Dressler, Professor Emerita, Sherwood Anderson Creative Writing Program and Department of English and Creative Writing at Guilford College.

Our Eyes at Night is book three of three in the Last Ghost series, which also includes The Last to See Me and I See You So Close

A public book launch is planned for Saturday, March 19, at Scuppernong Books in Greensboro. The book will be available beginning March 1.

Myléne will be on campus to read from Our Eyes at Night at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 21. Please note that this private event is limited to the vaccinated Guilford community: faculty, staff, students, alumni, board members, donors, and Friends of the Library. 

Books will be available for purchase and signing at both events.

Myléne is the author of six novels, including The Last to See Me, grand prize winner of the Book Pipeline Award, optioned for film, and winner of Audiofile Magazine's Earphone Award for Fiction.

Mylene's stories and essays have appeared in the Kenyon Review, Creative Nonfiction, and Lit Hub, among others. Her honors include the Paisano Fellowship in Literature, as well as residencies at Hedgebrook and the Carson McCullers Center. Myléne currently lives and writes on the Oregon coast and in the high desert of southern Utah, the birthplace of the ghosts in Our Eyes at Night.
