In all my perterbations about Pluto, I almost forgot about an appearance I’m doing tomorrow night as part of The Last Days month!
Here’s the scoop about the event, a night of strange and varied entertainments celebrating the release of Jeff VanderMeer’s new novel Shriek: An Afterword.
It’s a big multimedia extravaganza that includes my pals Ellen Kusher and Delia Sherman. But the big event is a screening of “Shriek: The Movie,” a short film based on the novel, directed by Juha Lindroos and with an original soundtrack by legendary art-rock band The Church.
I’ll be reading from The Last Days for the first time ever.
Here’s an important note for young fans: Galapagos is a bar, and you have to be 21 to get in. (Sorry.)
It’s $7, and here’s where it is.
The Last Days is a sequel to Peeps, comes out September 7, and can be pre-ordered now.

*agrees with avant garde* I always thought YA fiction was originally designated for people under 21.
August 21st, 2006 09:57
i agree with hezaa, i cant even drive yet, what good is holding a YA book reading in bar?!? makes me !@#$% angry
August 21st, 2006 10:16
dont think it is a ya reading. the others things on it are all adult.
August 21st, 2006 10:22
That’s true. Other than me, it’s all adult-y.
I’m just pals with the editor and some of the other writers.
August 22nd, 2006 05:20
Scott,
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed your reading last night. Thanks.

I’ll second rajan and say that you did a wonderful reading. It was almost as good as the strip acts.
August 22nd, 2006 10:53
Hey, Amy, I got your Sandlots reference. Dude, scott, did you just refer to yourself as non adultey? ROCK ON!
August 22nd, 2006 10:56
Also, Shriek looks really good. I’m gonna read it.
August 22nd, 2006 12:36
Look! Scott’s an action hero!
It’s awesome!

Hey, thanks to all you who came. It was good to have book-reading types there to support me. (I had to follow a very funny rapper, which is never easy when you aren’t rhyming, particularly.
And yes, Jackie, Maureen is a very funny woman.
