From Wild Rumpus: This is a night celebrating spooky queer literature, and is aimed at being a safe and fun space for all identities to celebrate!

Calling all cryptid lovers! We're hosting a QUEER CRYPTID NIGHT! Because pretty sure queerness & cryptid-dom go hand in hand.(Looking at you, Mothman!)

The highlight of the night is a visit from author LOGAN-ASHLEY KISNER, whose sophomore novel, THE TRANSITION, is out and it's SCARY! We loved his first book, Old Wounds, so this is a highly-anticipated read! Logan-Ashley will be joined in conversation by our very own local pal, J.M. LEE, whose book Nightland Express is a perfect queer read for those of us who need something less horrifying but equally wonderful. :P

In The Transition, a transgender teen’s post-op recovery is derailed when he is bitten by a werewolf and his body begins to change. A thought-provoking page-turner that will haunt you for days!

WEREWOLVES! TRANS HORROR! SPOOKY SEASON! What more could we need??

jk--- THERE IS MORE!

BONUS!!!!!! Local artist CURLWORKS will be popping up in our store! Their merch is iconic and oh-so-queer, and we are thrilled to have Ollie join us! Come support local queer & trans artists!!!

DOUBLE BONUS!!!!!! There will also be FUN PRIZES throughout the evening! Stay tuned for some literary, gender-affirming, and just downright fun treats!

TRIPLE BONUS??!!!!! Rep your favorite cryptid! You can go all-out costume, or even a just a lapel pin. It's almost Halloween, after all! (this is not required at all--just fun!) Here's a list of a bajillion options from Wikipedia!

See you there, spookies!

Our Trunk-or-Treat event is a fun and safe way for families to enjoy Halloween together. With creatively decorated cars, delicious treats, and plenty of community spirit, it’s an event you won’t want to miss! This year, we’re making it even bigger and better, with more cars, more candy, and more fun activities for everyone
