Alisa Kwitney, HOWL: A Graphic Novel & Sam Rebelein, GALLOWAY'S GOSPEL

In Alisa Kwitney's latest graphic collaboration with artist Mauricet, Science fiction meets family memoir in 1950s Greenwich Village, home of artists, musicians, writers—and the extraterrestrial spores that are secretly taking them over! Alisa will talk with author Sam Rebelein about HOWL and about Sam's new book Galloway's Gospel - a shockingly fun wild ride of horrors in which Rebelein takes us back to Renfield County and tells the story of two Rachels—one who mistakenly starts a cult at her local high school and one who tries to dismantle it ten years later.
