Event Details
Librarian leads the resistance against a madman known as The Author!
Join novelist Jennifer Cyphers for a compelling discussion of her new novel, Dixie’s Wild West Shitshow in which a former librarian battles against The Author who caused a corpse apocalypse in order to create his new-world Utopia. But Dixie has something to say about The Author’s diabolical plans and doesn’t like that he and his henchmen, his Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, have chosen her hometown as their headquarters of doom. She may not have an assigned role in The Author’s evil narrative, but she’s going to make her preferences known.
