We'll be celebrating Daniel Kraus' newest book PARTIALLY DEVOURED HOW NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD SAVED MY LIFE AND CHANGED THE WORLD on it's pub date Tuesday March 10!!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.
Daniel will be in conversation with Becky Spratford, author of the Bram Stoker-nominated book WHY I LOVE HORROR.
Party starts at 6:30pm and BYOB is welcome for 21+
