Kingfisher as we celebrate the releases of MONSTERA and BALDUR'S GATE 3: ASTARION. From everyone's favorite video game vampire to botanical horrors, nothing will be off the table in this rousing conversation.About MONSTERA:A reclusive young woman moves into what seems like the perfect apartment and is obsessively drawn to her mysterious neighbour, who keeps a lush garden and is hiding a deadly secret… Eat the Ones You Love meets Wilder Girls in this sensual, sapphic, botanical horror novella from the New York Times-bestselling author of Bloom and House of Idyll.When Lucy McClintock moves into a dreamy Victorian in downtown Savannah after years of suffering under the rule of her overbearing grandfather, she feels like she’s won the lottery—well, outside of the creepy landlord. She soon notices a glorious green haven in the backyard and meets her downstairs neighbor, Saskia, a weightlifter who lives in a magical apartment overflowing with plant life and beautiful artwork. Naïve and lonely Lucy is drawn to strong and secretive Saskia, and as the two women grow closer, they discover they share more than just an apartment building…A seductive, heady, sinister read: breathless romance and bone-chilling suspense collide in this sweet and deadly tale.About ASTARION:The roguish charlatan Astarion will free himself from a centuries-long fate of servitude or die (a second time) trying—in this decadently dark fantasy adventure by award-winning author T. Kingfisher.You’re too pretty to die.Astarion Ancunin was supposed to be a magistrate, not a vampire spawn. He was supposed to serve the law, not the vicious vampire lord Cazador Szarr. And he was supposed to drink fine wine, not rat blood. Alas, the city of Baldur’s Gate cares little for what’s supposed to happen.Though he has been powerless to resist his master’s bidding, haunting the nighttime streets to fetch warm blood, Astarion has never surrendered his hope. One day, this nightmare must end. He just has to find out how.When the vampire lord announces a twisted competition for his favor, an opportunity presents itself in the form of a rare prize . . . and an unlikely alliance. The blood of a dead god is buried deep beneath Baldur’s Gate, and, to get it, Astarion will need the help of a handsome Aasimar paladin named Hahn den Suriel.There are just a few problems. Astarion is not supposed to trust his fellow spawn. He’s not supposed to go out into the city for his own ends rather than the vampire lord’s. And he’s certainly not supposed to strike a deal with a stranger whose golden eyes can snare even a blackened, undead heart.But the city of Baldur’s Gate cares little for what’s supposed to happen. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/73924170-a7da-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w914-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg Delilah S. Dawson is the author of the New York Times bestseller Star Wars: Phasma, Hit, Servants of the Storm, the Blud series, the creator-owned comics Ladycastle and Sparrowhawk, and the Shadow series (written as Lila Bowen). She lives in Florida with her family and a fat mutt named Merle.Ursula Vernon, aka T. Kingfisher, is the author and illustrator of far more projects than is probably healthy. She has written over fifty novels for both children and adults, an epic webcomic called “Digger” and various short stories and other odds and ends. The daughter of an artist, she spent her youth attempting to rebel, but eventually succumbed to the siren song of paint (although not before getting a degree in anthropology). Ursula grew up in Oregon and Arizona, went to college at Macalester College in Minnesota, and stayed there for ten years, until she finally learned to drive in deep snow and was obligated to leave the state. Having moved across the country several times, she eventually settled in New Mexico, where she works full-time as an artist and creator of oddities. She lives with her husband, her garden, and his chickens.Event guidelines:Each ticket comes with admission to the event and either a hardcover copy of MONSTERA, a hardcover copy of BALDUR'S GATE 3: ASTARION, hardcover copies of MONSTERA + BALDUR'S GATE 3: ASTARION, or a $15 Twisted Spine gift card.There will be a limited quanitity of each title available for purchase at the event.A signing will follow the discussion.If you have any questions about the guidelines or to request accessibility accommodations, please contact info@twistedspinebooks.com. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/double-book-launch-monstera-and-baldurs-gate-3-astarion/100001994631862595 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, literary-art, Contests, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.85, max: 67.13, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: The Twisted Spine - **lat**: 40.7127873 - **long**: -73.957273 - **full address**: The Twisted Spine, 306 Grand Street, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Double Book Launch: MONSTERA & BALDUR'S GATE 3: ASTARION - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/4295706e800eecfcb9b45ef8c86bfb8a998c178babec4d20384df171e761e51b-rimg-w1200-h600-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1788469213 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Double Book Launch: MONSTERA & BALDUR'S GATE 3: ASTARION being held? - **A:** Double Book Launch: MONSTERA & BALDUR'S GATE 3: ASTARION takes place on Mon, 12 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Mon, 12 Oct, 2026 at 08:15 pm at The Twisted Spine, 306 Grand Street, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Double Book Launch: MONSTERA & BALDUR'S GATE 3: ASTARION? - **A:** Double Book Launch: MONSTERA & BALDUR'S GATE 3: ASTARION is organized by The Twisted Spine. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Double Book Launch: MONSTERA & BALDUR'S GATE 3: ASTARION", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/4295706e800eecfcb9b45ef8c86bfb8a998c178babec4d20384df171e761e51b-rimg-w1200-h600-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1788469213", "startDate": "2026-10-12T19:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-10-12T20:15:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/double-book-launch-monstera-and-baldurs-gate-3-astarion/100001994631862595", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "The Twisted Spine", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "306 Grand Street", "postalCode": "11211", "addressLocality": "Brooklyn", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.7127873", "longitude": "-73.957273" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join The Twisted Spine for a special double book launch!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-03", "availabilityEnds": "2026-10-12T20:15:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-09-03", "lowPrice": "17.85", "highPrice": "67.13", "price": "17.85", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/double-book-launch-monstera-and-baldurs-gate-3-astarion/100001994631862595" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-03", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/double-book-launch-monstera-and-baldurs-gate-3-astarion/100001994631862595", "price": "32.23", "name": "Ticket & Book- MONSTERA" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-03", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/double-book-launch-monstera-and-baldurs-gate-3-astarion/100001994631862595", "price": "36.90", "name": "Ticket & Book- ASTARION" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-03", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/double-book-launch-monstera-and-baldurs-gate-3-astarion/100001994631862595", "price": "67.13", "name": "Ticket & Books- MONSTERA + ASTARION" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-03", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/double-book-launch-monstera-and-baldurs-gate-3-astarion/100001994631862595", "price": "17.85", "name": "Ticket & Gift Card" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Twisted Spine", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/the-twisted-spine/26621106", "description": "NYC's first bookstore for Horror and Dark Literature.
