Are you looking for the perfect event for spooky season? Join us on 10/20 for a conversation with Lyndsay Faye, author of Raven adn Peyton June, author of Monsters We Made and more. The event starts at 6:30 pm and is free.

About Raven
An orphaned young woman in antebellum Maryland is pulled into a maelstrom of passion, pain, and occult power in this Gothic homage to the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe.

Gothic and atmospheric, Raven is an aching tale of loss, freedom, death, and resurrection by the celebrated author of Jane Steele and Dust and Shadow.

About Lyndsay
Lyndsay Faye is the internationally bestselling author of eight critically acclaimed novels and two short story collections. She has been published in fifteen languages, nominated for two Edgar Awards, and received an American Library Association award for Best Historical Novel. A notable writer of Sherlock Holmes pastiches including Dust and Shadow and Observations by Gaslight, she also particularly enjoys upending classical literature, as in Jane Steele, which transforms Jane Eyre into a feminist serial killer. A true New Yorker in the sense that she was born elsewhere, Faye lives in Queens with her husband Nicholas and her cat Prufrock.

About Peyton
Peyton June writes about spooky small towns and the messy q***r kids who survive them. When she’s not creating, Peyton enjoys riding her fifty-year-old Schwinn bicycle, collecting antique photographs, and ghost hunting. She lives outside Seattle, Washington. Bad Creek is her debut novel.
