Details:
We’re so excited to welcome horror author Kyle Winkler back to the shop for a book signing and meet & greet! Join us on Saturday, October 24th from 10:00am-12:00pm to meet the author, purchase a signed book (or few!), and celebrate the release of his latest book, 'The Ship of Death' -- out 9/29/26!
Winkler's books are perfect for fans of cosmic horror and dark speculative fiction that straddles the line between horror and sci-fi/fantasy. His book 'Grasshands' is a staff favorite (find it on Liz's Staff Picks shelf!) and we're especially excited to celebrate the release of 'The Ship of Death', "a sleep-stealing, possession-inducing work of intense, intelligent found cosmic horror"...think a 'Horror Movie' by Paul Tremblay crossed with 'The Blair Witch Project'!
'The Ship of Death' (as well as select books from Winkler's backlist) will be available for purchase at the book signing (while supplies last) but pre-orders are highly encouraged! To find out more about Winkler's books and/or place an order, head to: bobzbay.square.site/winkler?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv4_a1demo0jsyhot0

About 'The Ship of Death':
Horror Movie meets The Blair Witch Project in this supernatural chokehold of a book told entirely through found documents: the cursed story of an unwitting couple ensnared by a mysterious tabletop role-playing game, who are commanded, as the game's intentions become clearer, to do the unthinkable.
Cole and Lorraine playtest board games for some extra cash as they save up to buy a home. But after a series of bizarre coincidences, and signing a strange NDA, the couple finds on their porch a mysterious indie developer's tabletop role-playing game called The Ship of Death. The game relies heavily on the players' imaginations, and takes up an ever-growing amount of space: in their kitchen, and in their minds. As its true sinister nature becomes clearer, and its forces capture more in its web, the boundary between the game and reality begins to dissolve. . . and the pair are instructed to possess a stranger's soul.
Told entirely through game reports, emails, game forum posts, personal journals, and police reports, reading The Ship of Death feels like a dangerous dice roll. It's a sleep-stealing, possession-inducing work of intense, intelligent found cosmic horror that announces Kyle Winkler as a spectacular voice in the genre.
