High Hallack is a working research library and retreat for individuals interested in popular fiction. Such writing, by the definition of its founder, includes the fields of science fiction, fantasy, horror, gothic, mystery, romance, and western.

Nearly seventy-five percent of modern fiction falls into the categories listed above; however, in the past, no library has ever existed which has been dedicated exclusively to preserving and promoting the said genres. High Hallack has been created to answer to this need, as well as to provide research resources for both authors of fiction working in the designated fields and for writers of non-fiction preparing articles, papers, or lectures in the areas. A third important future goal is for the facility to serve as a "lecture hall" wherein seminars, talks by visiting authors, and discussions for writers and students of genre-related topics my be held.
