Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an author event with Matt Dinniman, to celebrate the release of A Parade of Horribles, on Monday, May 11th at 7:00 pm at Community Christian Church in Naperville.
Event Format
We will begin checking you in approximately 60 minutes before the start time. After a presentation and Q&A with the author, the signing line will form. Only those who purchase the "Presentation + Signing Line" ticket will be allowed access to the signing line. The line will form in numbered order with the following guidelines.
No individual posed photos with Dinniman are allowed. Attendees make take candid pictures from their spot in line.
There is a limit of 1 personalization. Attendees may not get books or additional items signed during the signing line (unless otherwise stated).
All books will be pre-signed.
All events have open seating. The “Order Line Number” on your pdf ticket is your reserved place in the signing line. If you purchased the "Signing + Presentation" ticket, you will line up to meet the author based on that number.
If you cannot attend, you must pick up your book (if included with ticket) at the hosting store within 30 days of the event. We can ship that book to you for an additional charge of $9.99; please call the store to arrange that.
Pre-registration is required for this event because space is limited.
More about A Parade of Horribles:
As chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where they’re forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Well, normal for the dungeon.
Races. Get from point A to point B, and don’t come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a little too normal, a little too simple.
Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Don’t listen to those whispers about what’s happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. Nobody, not even the showrunners, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it “a coming-out party for the ages.”
Everything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine.
Carl hates that it’s business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do.
So Carl is planning a party of his own. It’s a plan so dangerous, so insane, he can’t even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong, it’s not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.
Includes part eight of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”
