Please spread the word!

The Detroit Public Library is thrilled to announce Josh Malerman & Wow Town Present: INCIDENTS AROUND THE HOUSE: A Theatrical Reading, With a Live Score by Jim Byrne.

Date: Sunday, November 3, 2024
Time: 2pm EST
Location: Main Library Friends Auditorium
Address: 5201 Woodward Avenue, Detroit
Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/josh-malerman-wow-town-present-incidents-around-the-house-tickets-1015725019877

Incidents Around the House (2024, Del Rey) is Malerman's latest horror novel, and Malerman's troupe will take this haunted tale to the next level with their performance.
Wow Town was started by acclaimed author Josh Malerman and Allison Laakko when Malerman's debut novel Bird Box was released. The idea was to present book launches in a more exciting way than just Malerman at a podium. It has grown considerably since then, with performances in chapels, gymnasiums, bookstores, bars, and theaters. Allison Laakko is largely responsible for the amazing set-design and any creature effects/props. Live music has accompanied almost every performance.
INCIDENTS AROUND THE HOUSE: A Theatrical Reading combines Allison Laakko's stage show with Jim Byrne's original score (written entirely for the novel), all set to passages of the book itself. The troupe is made up of Malerman, Laakko, Byrne, plus stage actors Lilli Bishop, Atran Raikany, and Jeannine Thompson, as well as film director/magician James Henry Hall, and voiceover artist Kristi Billings.
After the performance, Malerman will stick around for a brief Q&A and book signing. Copies of Incidents Around the House will be available for sale from Detroit's own 27th Letter Books<https://www.27thletterbooks.com/>.
