Horror lovers rejoice! Do not miss the chance to meet the beloved author of such popular titles as Horrorstor, My Best Friend's Exorcism, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, and more. Stop by to get your books signed with all your book friends. About the author:  Like gravity, or ugly people, Grady Hendrix is hard to escape, especially here on his website. In this place, he is all up in your areas and he even wrote the words that you are reading right now. When you are on his website, he can see you. He can see you right now. Grady Hendrix writes fiction, also called  lies,  and he writes non-fiction, which people sometimes accidentally pay him for. He is the author of Horrorstör, the only novel about a haunted Scandinavian furniture store you'll ever need. It has been translated into 14 languages and is being turned into a movie. His novel My Best Friend's Exorcism, is set in his hometown and is all about demonic possession, friendship, exorcism, and the Eighties — it’s basically Beaches meets The Exorcist and it caused the Wall Street Journal to call him  a national treasure  and received rave reviews from everyone from Kirkus to Southern Living. Surprisingly, this is still not enough for him to earn his mother’s love. Still trying to prove himself to his family, he also wrote Paperbacks from Hell, a history of the horror paperback boom in the Seventies and Eighties. It was so popular it won a Stoker Award, and while you may not know what that is, trust me when I say that it is a big, big deal that gets Grady 20% off all purchases at the Franklin Mint. His next novel was We Sold Our Souls, a heavy metal take on the Faust legend, which hit bookstores in 2018 and got selected as one of the best books of 2018 by Library Journal, the Chicago Public library, and, finally, his mom. It’s also one of Locus’s recommended novels of 2018 and earned him an article in the Los Angeles Review of Books that makes him sound like some kind of smart person or something. He’s not. Desperate for his mother to love him more than his sisters, his next book was the New York Times bestseller, The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, once again set in the neighborhood where he grew up. Then he wrote his best-selling ode to slasher movies, The Final Girl Support Group, followed by one more book set in his old neighborhood, How To Sell a Haunted House. At this point, he is not allowed to write any more books set in Charleston or he has to start paying Charleston a licensing fee.  Grady Hendrix used to be a journalist, which means that he was completely irrelevant and could be killed and turned into food at any time. He is one of the founders of the New York Asian Film Festival, but he is not responsible for the bad parts of it. He is also not Asian. For years he was a regular film critic for the New York Sun but then it went out of business. He has written for Playboy Magazine, Slate, The Village Voice, the New York Post, Film Comment, and Variety. He has a hard time making up his mind. He recently wrote These Fists Break Bricks about kung fu movies coming to America in the ‘70s & ‘80s, and he also wrote a science fiction book called Occupy Space about an astronaut stranded on the International Space Station. He promises he had nothing to do with astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore being stranded on the ISS and he would never engage in that kind of publicity stunt. A long time ago he wrote a Satan Loves You which he self-published. It has since gone out of print but he’s working hard to get it back on the market. Please do not pay $1,000 for a copy. Along with his BFF from high school, Katie Crouch, he is the co-author of the YA series, The Magnolia League. He co-authored Dirt Candy: A Cookbook, the first graphic novel cookbook in America, with his wife and Ryan Dunlavey. It's now in its seventh printing which means that at least 24 people have bought a copy. His fiction has appeared in Strange Horizons, Pseudopod, and the anthology, The Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination. He is very, very beautiful, but if you ever meet him, please do not let this make you uncomfortable. He does not judge. The New Yorker once ran a short profile of him, and this means that when the time comes and they are lining people up for the Space Arks he will be guaranteed a seat ahead of you.
