[Michlib-l] Author Visit at Ferndale Area District Library

[Jeff Milo]

Hi all,

Little late notice, but I still wanted to get the word out: The Ferndale
Library is hosting an author visit/reading & book signing on Thursday
evening.


An Evening With Josh Malerman
Thursday, April 2, 2015 @ 7:00 PM
Ferndale Area District Library


Please join us for an unconventional reading/book-signing by author Josh
Malerman this Thursday evening. Malerman, a Ferndale resident and lifelong
Michigan native, broke out on the contemporary horror/suspense genre scene
last year with his debut novel *Bird Box, w*hich was selected as a 2014
Michigan Notable Book by the Library of Michigan. *Bird Box *also won the
James Herbert Award and was short-listed as a contender for the Bram Stoker
award for horror writing.

This won’t be your average book signing. Malerman, who is also a musician
with local rock group The High Strung, said he is cooking up something cool
for his author visit to FADL.

All fans of horror and suspense novels should mark their calendars for
April 2; especially since Malerman’s first round of book tours resulted in
audiences raving over his highly engaging and quirky presentation, often
employing ambient music and theatrical sound effects.

Bird Box (published last year by Ecco Press, a HarperCollins subsidiary),
received praise from many esteemed publications including USA Today, The
Detroit Free Press and Publishers Weekly.

Thursday, April 2
at 7:00pm – 8:00pm
Free / Space is limited

“I hear there’s two types of horror-writers,” said Malerman. “One will show
you the monster while the other leaves the door closed. Well, I’ve
discovered that I’m both.”

 *The New York Times* declared Malerman’s style to be “… the best kind of
horror…where your imagination becomes your own worst enemy.”
