About this event
What do you get when you mix horror authors, local vendors selling creepy crafts, and spooky-themed drinks? A spooky market you won’t want to miss! Join us in the Kemper Center auditorium on Thursday, October 8th, for all things macabre. The spooky market will run from 5 to 9 p.m. with a conversation between horror authors Richard Chizmar, W. H. Chizmar, and Mathilda Zeller starting at 6:30 p.m. The authors will be discussing “Killing the Boogeyman”, Richard’s newest release and final book in the Boogeyman trilogy, W. H.’s solo debut “Them”, a post-apocalyptic survival novel, and Mathilda’s debut, “It Looks Like You in the Dark”, a propulsive Indigenous horror novel. Following the presentation, there will be time for a Q&A with the audience and book signing. The event is free, but registration is required to save your seat for the author conversation.

The news frenzy reignites while the police chase shadows…even as Gallagher’s twisted true crime fanbase celebrates online, acknowledging that he’s something more than human now. To everyone else, it’s a desperate hunt for answers. To Chizmar, it’s more like destiny closing in. The evidence, the sightings, the voices in the dark all point to one unthinkable…
