C.J. Leede in conversation with Jenny Kiefer

Join us for an evening with C.J. Leede, who will be in conversation with Jenny Kiefer to discuss her new novel AMERICAN RAPTURE. We'll have plenty of copies for purchase as well as her other title, Maeve Fly.

From CJ Leede, the author of Maeve Fly, comes a scorching new apocalyptic novel: AMERICAN RAPTURE. American Gods meets The Last of Us in this epic and sweeping story about the end of the world as we know it.

A virus is spreading across America, transforming the infected and making them feral with lust.

Sophie, a good Catholic girl, must traverse the hellscape of the midwest to try to find her family while the world around her burns. Along the way she discovers there are far worse fates than dying a virgin…

The end times are coming.
