# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Double Book Launch: Nowhere and Astrid, Aghast
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Come and celebrate the launch of two unforgettable books, Nowhere by Jon Claytor and Astrid, Aghast by Ian Roy! 
This event is free and open to the public.

A hilarious and sinister reflection on growing up in a world where monsters are real, Nowhere is a dreamlike meditation on adolescence and the absurdity of small-town life.

The stories in Astrid, Aghast are by turns funny, poignant, magical, and humane. This remarkable collection is understated, often slyly humorous, and peopled by characters so finely-drawn each one seems as familiar as they do strange.
