Two New York Times bestselling novelists share one stage on a Thursday night in September, and one of them is ours. Stephen Graham Jones, the Colorado horror writer behind The Only Good Indians, joins James Islington at Tattered Cover Colfax for the launch of Islington’s new novel, Scion.
Tattered Cover Book Store is the organizer and the event is ticketed, with every ticket including a hardcover copy of Scion, so the price is buying the book as much as the seat. Doors open at 5:15 PM for a 6 PM start, running to roughly 8 PM.
