Local horror author showcase
Gibson’s Bookstore is blessed (or haunted?) to have a wealth of horror authors locally, from many different avenues of publishing. Join us for a bit of literary trick-or-treat at Gibson’s Bookstore as we host a Meet the Authors mocktail party. Meet local horror authors, enjoy horror-themed mocktails, mingle with other horror fans (conversation starter tip: what is your least favorite horror trope? We’d love to complain with you!), and buy great horror novels on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 2 to 4 p.m.
Joining are horror authors: Mae Murray, John Durgin, Gregory Bastianelli, Brennan LaFaro, Nathan Guardian, Glenn Rolfe, Jared Grace, Cat Scully, Tony Tremblay, Aquino Loayza, Heather Murphy, Tom Deady, Jennifer Anne Gordon, and Erin Bowman.
Poetry Society of NH
