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.” - Jeff Milo Circulation Specialist Ferndale Area District Library 248-546-2504
