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 $7, and here’s where it is.
The Last Days is a sequel to Peeps, comes out September 7, and can be pre-ordered now.
Wow 1st post.
All I can say is lucky lucky lucky people who get to be there. If your going transcribe it! Joking.
man! why do they do good stuff like that in bars? i mean they want youth to read more but then they hold stuff where you cant get in untill…well, you aren’t a youth anymore. how lame is that. any who…i cant wait for the boook to come out. i ahve been waiting for-ev-er(sorry i just watched the sandlot and that was on my mind). well good luck scott. have fun, and god bless!
If the book is for yougn adults htey shouldnt hold it there. Or have the parents come
Why can’t you read it somewhere in Australia?? Aww….. I want to listen i am so excited for The Last Days.
*agrees with avant garde* I always thought YA fiction was originally designated for people under 21.
i agree with hezaa, i cant even drive yet, what good is holding a YA book reading in bar?!? makes me !@#$% angry
dont think it is a ya reading. the others things on it are all adult.
That’s true. Other than me, it’s all adult-y.
I’m just pals with the editor and some of the other writers.
Scott,
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed your reading last night. Thanks.
Raj
I’ll second rajan and say that you did a wonderful reading. It was almost as good as the strip acts.
Hey, Amy, I got your Sandlots reference. Dude, scott, did you just refer to yourself as non adultey? ROCK ON!
Also, Shriek looks really good. I’m gonna read it.
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.
