Hello, all--

Well, the city and the GRTC are up to their shenanigans again. They’ve put up new NO PARKING signs along our block, even though they haven’t been anywhere near us nor have they worked on our block since. My recommendations are that if there’s space, just park on Broad. They legally allow for ‘business deliveries and pick-ups’, and  I think it’s arguably sound that you’re conducting a business pick-up. Hopefully the long stupid nightmare will be over soon and we can go back to our regularly scheduled parking abilities.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26TH @6pm we will be hosting our next SIGNING EVENT! Playwright Clay McLeod Chapman will be here to promote his work in DC’s newest AMERICAN VAMPIRE anthology and his horror series SELF STORAGE for 451 Media Group (that’s Michael Bay’s publishing company!)! Mark your calendar and wear adult diapers just in case Clay’s feeling extra spooky!

LAST CALL! Subscribers! This is your last chance to add the following debuting titles-- our order quantities lock on Monday night, after which time we cannot guarantee you a copy! Sign up for the ones you want TODAY!
MOTHER PANIC (DC/Young Animal) The final entry in DC’s Young Animal imprint is a mature readers book set in Batman’s Gotham. Looks very good!
