Calling all horror lovers, thrill seekers, and lovers of the supernatural! If you love a weird book (we do, and we love this one!) join us to talk Bride of the Tornado with Midwest author James Kennedy.Bookseller Alana said this about his last book, Dare to Know: “There is so much to unpack in this book, I don't know where to begin! Part metaphysics,, part mathematics, part a reflection on a life and the resulting lingering regrets of paths not taken. It will blow your mind and have you looking up the Caholkia Mounds.”This event is free to attend. However it helps us in planning to receive your RSVP. About the Book:A young woman's secretive midwestern town is engulfed by a mysterious plague of tornadoes every generation–and she must escape it before it claims her.Stephen King’s The Mist meets David Lynch’s Twin Peaks in this surreal, mind-bending horror-thriller.In a small town tucked away in the midwestern corn fields, the adults whisper about Tornado Day. Our narrator, a high school sophomore, has never heard this phrase but she soon discovers its terrible meaning: a plague of sentient tornadoes is coming to destroy them. The only thing that stands between the town and total annihilation is a teen boy known as the tornado killer. Drawn to this enigmatic boy, our narrator senses an unnatural connection between them. But the adults are hiding a secret about the origins of the tornadoes and the true nature of the tornado killer—and our narrator must escape before the primeval power that binds them all comes to claim her. Audaciously conceived and steeped in existential dread, this genre-defying fever dream of a novel reveals the mythbound madness at the heart of American life.Not able to join us?
