Join us in-store for a discussion with Ben Crew, author of Van Helsing's Guide to Mosnters and Dating. We'll chat about his tongue-in-cheek guidebook, along with how to tell fiends apart from "more-than-friends." Following the discussion and signing, participants are invited to stick around to fill out their own "Limber" dating profiles and partake in the Speed Dating/ Mixer portion of the event. About the book: Meet Jefferson Van Helsing, descendant of the greatest vampire hunter of all time, as he faces horrifying monsters and even more terrifying first dates in Portland, Oregon.Van Helsing’s Guide to Monsters and Dating is an illustrated monster/dating companion where readers will learn how to identify and fight ghouls, ghosts, vampires and more. In this harrowing debut by Ben Crew, Jeff stumbles into true love, discovers the importance of bro-time, and accidentally triggers a century-old prophecy all in a good-natured attempt to better the world by bettering himself.About the author: Ben Crew has a lifelong fascination with monsters and the macabre, leading him to engage in many of the same conversations as Jefferson Van Helsing in his book. If he and his character share anything in common, they both knew they needed to write a guidebook to monsters. Watching his father dedicate himself to writing a history of WWII, Ben naturally showed the same reverence for studying vampires and werewolves. After gaining online attention as the author of a Muppets version of The Great Gatsby, he became confident that there was an audience for his work. He is from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a Chicagoan always in his heart, and now lives in Maryland.Event guidelines:Each ticket includes either a copy ofVan Helsing's Guide to Mosnters and Dating or a $15 Twisted Spine gift card.Additional copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.You do not need to participate in the Speed Dating portion of this event to attend.
