Monsters in a Mirror: Book Launch Party

"Imagine if Raymond Carver and Angela Carter had a love child, and that love child went to seminary, but took up philosophy and turned to whiskey and psychological horror..."
- from the Foreword by Michael Merriam, author of Last Car to Annwn Station

There is an imperfection in the human mind - a crack, a flaw, a crevice - one that fascinates and repulses all those who find it. It is empty of all but impulse and appetite and the memory of hope. What if you looked over the edge? What if you fell? And after the fall, what would you see in the mirror?

Dragon shadows, bleeding statues, wolf dreams and time machines - your biological clock is ticking, and it's time to get metaphysical in this twisted cabaret of the macabre. This is the road map to your own personal inferno, fondly dedicated to everyone who is dying...especially you.

WARNING: contains tales of horror and dark fantasy, and consequently some disturbing, violent, and sexual imagery, including descriptions of sexual assault.

Featuring a reading, signing, and Q&A session with the author, with special guest performances by spoken-word artist Tom Cassidy and author Michael Merriam, and drinks available from Strike Theater!

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Strike Theater requires proof of vaccination and masking for entry to all shows.
