- **Event Name**: Meet the Author: Allison Gunn
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us on Sunday, March 22 at 2PM as we welcome West Virginia author Allison Gunn to WordPlay. Gunn’s debut horror novel, Nowhere, is an eerie telling of the strange disappearances of children in a small-fundamentalist town, the price a broken family must pay to come back together, and the scapegoating that occurs as ominous forces close in.

Drawn from Appalachian folktales, Nowhere mines human fear inside a supernatural phenomenon, while also illuminating the very real issues of a small town suffering from deep-seated prejudice and a drug epidemic. The incidents in Nowhere reflect Gunn’s own late-coming-of-age and coming out, as well as her uncomfortable experience living in close-minded communities.

Gunn is a professional researcher, writer, and librarian. Having earned her Master of History and a Master of Library and Information Science at the University of Maryland in 2016, she is now a graduate student at Shepherd University for Appalachian Studies with a focus on folklore. She resides in wonderfully weird West Virginia with her daughters, several furry overlords, and her favorite mountaineer musician. Writing is one of the very few things keeping her remotely sane.

Copies of Nowhere are available for purchase at WordPlay (paperback releases March 17) and also online through Bookshop. The March 22 event at WordPlay, located at 50 West Main Street in Wardensville, is free and open to the public; no registration required. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event. For more information, email info@wordplaywv.com.
