Join author Carol Rose GoldenEagle for the launch of her novel Joe (BookLand Press), an Indigenous vampire story.
This event will be held live in the Travel Alcove and also available as a simultaneous YouTube stream.
Joe is a vampire, and an alcoholic, who is in love with an Indigenous woman. Set in Regina Beach, the story follows Joe as he continues to feed his addiction by feasting on those who've consumed too much alcohol. He's been a scoundrel for most of his human lifetime but now, as a vampire, he seems to be getting his life together. He's a killer, but who is the real monster? Joe, or the alcohol? In the end, it is traditional Indigenous knowledge that saves Joe’s love interest, and the community, from impending doom.
