A Ghost Story for Christmas & a REALM Update

For those in the Toronto area, I encourage you to join us tonight at The Central (603 Markham St.) for A Ghost Story for Christmas: books, spirits, and live readings! This is a free event. We hope to see you there.

Also, for anyone who pre-ordered the Deluxe or Lettered editions of The Darkly Splendid Realm: as of earlier this month, Dark Regions Press were just waiting on the arrival of the dust-jackets, which were due imminently. Once the dust-jackets are received, all orders will begin shipping. Keep a three-lobed burning eye on your mailbox...

There will be trade paperback copies of Realm for sale tonight.

Burning Effigy Fall Launch

I will be reading at the Burning Effigy Press Fall Launch event, which is taking place on Sunday, November 15th at The Central Restaurant & Bar (603 Markham Street in Toronto). The event marks the official release party for Ian Rogers' excellent novelette Temporary Monsters. Ian will be reading as well, along with poet Liisa Ladouceur and other B.E. authors.

Everything will get underway at 8pm. I do hope you'll come, especially since the story I'll be reading is about you.

Word on the Street

Burning Effigy Press will be present at this year's Word on the Street literary festival at Queen's Park in Toronto. The event takes place on Sunday, September 27th from 11am to 6pm.

I will be on hand to sign copies of Primeval Wood from noon until 1pm, and I'm happy to report that my friend Ian Rogers will be signing his brand new horror chapbook Temporary Monsters tomorrow as well, along with a number of other B.E. authors. If you're attending WotS, be sure to stop by the Burning Effigy booth and say hello.
