IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our Thursday show is CANCELLED
Apologies!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our author for Thursday, Nicholas Wright of WARHEAD fame, has had to cancel. We are always sad when we have to cancel a show (I think it has only happened twice?) BUT in better news, there are TWO other events in October--and the next is Daniel Kraus!
Upcoming in Oct:
Daniel Kraus has been on FIRE lately, with his book WHALEFALL turned into a movie and ANGEL DOWN winning a Pulitzer. But he is excited to come hang with the Peculiars on Oct 22nd! He'll be talking ZOMBIES and Night of the Living Dead. We also have out Halloween party coming up, where we will read ghost stories and win prizes and share cocktails on zoom. VIP only, so if you want to join us please hit up our Payhip.
PARTIALLY DEVOURED
Daniel is an alum! And he is joining us again for a Halloween treat:
The New York Times bestselling author of Whalefall and Angel Down dives into a horror movie classic to examine his favorite film’s importance to our history, culture, and psychology—a perfect blend of research and memoir for fans of the movie, the genre, and beyond
Daniel Kraus first saw George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead when he was five years old. Through watching it approximately three hundred times since, Kraus discovered the many ways the film is tied to his childhood trauma and how its influence has carried into his adulthood. He couldn’t help but wonder: Are there other admirers of the film out there who feel the same?
Partially Devoured uses a frame-by-frame deep dive into Night of the Living Dead to produce a kaleidoscopic cultural investigation of the film’s importance and to examine the author’s early life of rural isolation and local violence.
Careening from film analysis to rabbit-hole tangents, Partially Devoured will take readers from screaming laughter to the depths of grief, all while illustrating how a beloved genre film has woven itself into so many facets of our lives.
REMINDER to VIP MEMBERS! You can email me to be in the green room!
