Say hi to Mr. Bingley, the world's coolest bookstore cat, and give all the haints of The Haunted Book Shop a "Happy Artwalk!" greeting.

About Against All Odds:
From the depths of struggle to the pinnacles of achievement, Bradley's Against All Odds is an unforgettable and deeply real story and memoir book about Dr. Vinson J. Bradley's refusal to let adversity define him. Bradley appeared destined to a life of constraint after becoming a parent as a teenager, growing up in poverty, and confronting insurmountable obstacles. However, through faith, unwavering persistence, and a confidence that he was destined for more, he forged a new path that led him to become a Doctor of Education, mentor, and living example of how resilience can rewrite any story.

Against All Odds is more than one of those classic memoir volumes; it is a motivational book for anybody who has ever felt disheartened, undervalued, or stuck. Readers of all backgrounds have described the book as uplifting, honest, and life-changing, an important reminder that your past does not define your future. Whether you're dealing with personal issues, navigating uncertainties, or simply seeking a sense of purpose, Dr. Bradley's journey will motivate you to reach higher, push harder, and never give up on your goals.

About Nightmares Unbound:
In what should have been a normal 10th anniversary celebration of the hit book festival, Nightmares Unbound, author Harry Carpenter and his friends find themselves ensnared in a living nightmare! When infamous found footage director Alexander Mayfield throws his hat into the ring to co-operate the event, excitement and anticipation curdles into undeniable terror! As the festival spirals into something from one of his films, the doors shutter and the lights go out, plunging the venue into a suffocating gas filled darkness.

Harry is forced to survive the only way he knows how, using a combination of skills from a previous life and his love of horror. As an army of cultists closes in, killing without prejudice, the stakes could never have been higher. The boundary between fiction and reality fractures as time wanes on, and every shadowed corner threatens to be their doom.

In this gritty and suspenseful first-person narrative, Nightmares Unbound promises to be an absolute nightmare. Blood stains the pages as the festival becomes a battleground, where trust is as fragile as the flickering lights and survival hangs by a thread.

This will be an Artwalk to remember, celebrating the new year, meeting two area writers, and supporting the artisans, writers, and local business owners of downtown Mobile.
