An Evening with Stephen Graham Jones & Jeff VanderMeer
SATURDAY, OCT 19 @ 7:30PM $25
Memorial Park Library, Festival Hub, 2nd Floor
1221 2 St SW
We’ve been trying to lure horror meister Stephen Graham Jones (the Indian Lake trilogy and I Was a Teenage Slasher) to Calgary forever and are chuffed to announce he’s finally in the house! He’ll be joined by Jeff VanderMeer (the Southern Reach trilogy, which becomes a quartet with Absolution), whose work is at the top of our must-read visionary pile. VanderMeer’s protagonists are faced with the grim and gruesome, while Jones’s protagonist Tolly Driver *is* the grim and gruesome… but we have a feeling they’ll find common ground over our maddeningly real world, which is so much stranger than fiction.
WHAT TO EXPECT
