I’m Reading at “Books of the Living Dead” — August 24 in Birmingham

Mark your calendars, Birmingham — I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be one of the authors reading live at Books of the Living Dead, a night of dark fiction, horror, and true creepy storytelling happening right here in the city.

Why You Should Come

If you love a good scare, an unsettling twist, or just want to spend an evening in a room full of people who write the kind of stories that keep you up at night, this is the event for you. Live readings have a way of hitting differently than reading on the page — you get the pacing, the tension, the pauses exactly as the author intended.

I’ll be sharing a piece of my own work that night, and I can’t wait to hear what the rest of this incredible group of writers has cooked up too.

Come Say Hi

True Story Brewing Co. is the perfect atmosphere for this kind of night — good beer, good company, and stories that’ll knock you dead. Free admission means there’s no excuse not to swing by. Grab a drink, settle in, and let’s spend an evening with the living dead.
