Sunday:
Book lovers! Comedy lovers!
Join us on November 15th, 7:30 p.m. at The Central (603 Markham Street) as Burning Effigy Press launches two new titles:
Temporary Monsters, horror novella by Ian Rogers
Felix Renn is a private investigator in a supernatural world, an alternate reality where a dark dimension called The Black Lands co-exists alongside our own. Travelling to and from The Black Lands is dangerous -- and illegal -- but that doesn't stop some of the creatures that reside there from crossing over into our world from time to time. After a man goes berserk in a posh Toronto restaurant, Felix suddenly finds himself torn between both worlds as he is drawn into a deadly game of movies, murder, and monsters.
Operation Dickhead, sci-fi-comedy novella by Mike Bryant
Mark Allread is angry. He is angry because he works in the tech support department of a major Internet provider. But not angry enough to do anything other than complain to his long-suffering girlfriend. That all changes when the President of the World passes a new law requiring anybody he dislikes to have their heads replaced with genitalia. Mark, in response, decides to build an army of the surgically altered in hopes of overthrowing the President and returning people's heads to their original, non-penisized state. They're here. They're Dickheads. Get used to it.
Additional readings by Liisa Ladouceur (of EYE WEEKLY and MuchMoreMusic's Listed fame), Cynthia Gould, Richard Gavin, Timothy Carter and Dale Percy.
And special guest: Comedian and Fringe star Chris Gibbs!
(The Power of Ignorance, Antoine Feval)
No cover. Show starts promptly at 8 p.m.
