About the event

Curdle Creek Halloween Book Launch Party with Ghost Story Open Mic
Celebrate Curdle Creek’s paperback launch with a night of reading, dancing, music, and ghost stories.

About this Event

Winner of the Shirley Jackson Award, Curdle Creek turns one and it’s time for the paperback launch. What better way to celebrate than a party with readings and ghosts? I’m putting the club back in book club with live music, readings, and a ghost-story open mic.

Haven’t read the book? No problem. I’ll read some of my favourite parts of the book. We’ll have live music and ghost stories. There will be a Q&A, A book bar to buy books and a bar to buy drinks.

For an up to 10-minute open mic slot, email Yvonne at d2h5aXdyaXRlYmF0dGxlICEgZmVsdG9uIHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20=

About the book: Osira, a forty-five-year-old widow, is an obedient follower of the strict conventions of Curdle Creek, an all-Black town in rural America governed by a tradition of ominous rituals designed to keep the residents safe.

Curdle Creek has one particularly strict policy: one in, one out.

And one day, it is Osira's turn.
