Joe Hill at the GDBS

BEST SELLING HORROR AUTHOR JOE HILL AT THE GARDEN DISTRICT BOOK SHOP

The Garden District Book Shop, in partnership with Shudder as part of their 10th anniversary celebration, is thrilled to announce beloved bestselling horror author Joe Hill, who is in town for the Overlook Film Festival, will be at the shop on April 3 for an author event and signing for the paperback release of 20th Century Ghosts. 

Across novels, comic book series, and short stories — many of which have been memorably adapted from page to screen including Horns, Locke & Key, The Black Phone, and this year’s Abraham’s Boys — Hill’s unique blend of horror, dark fantasy, and science fiction has cemented his status as a contemporary master of the macabre. We are delighted to host this award-winning literary great as he dives into the inner-workings and inspirations of his spine-tingling oeuvre.

The event will begin at 6:00 PM and Hill will discuss his works and read a selection. Afterwards, he will open up the floor to a Q&A and then personalize copies of his book. The event is free and open to the public but interested parties can reserve their paperback copies of 20th Century Ghosts on Eventbrite. 

20th Century Ghosts 

Imogene is young, beautiful . . . and dead, waiting in the Rosebud Theater one afternoon in 1945. . . .

Francis was human once, but now he's an eight-foot-tall locust, and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .

John is locked in a basement stained with the blood of half a dozen murdered children, and an antique telephone, long since disconnected, rings at night with calls from the dead. . . .

Nolan knows but can never tell what really happened in the summer of '77, when his idiot savant younger brother built a vast cardboard fort with secret doors leading into other worlds. . . .

The past isn't dead. It isn't even past. . . .
