Tubby & Coo’s Book Shop is SO excited to host Desiree S. Evans and Saraciea J. Fennel on book tour for the release of The Black Girl Survives In This One, an amazing anthology of horror stories where – you guessed it – the Black girls actually survive. And not only that, they’re the heroes.

To celebrate, there will be an author discussion moderated by local author Brittany N. Williams. We will also play a hidden identity horror game throughout the event based on Desiree’s short story The Brides of Devil’s Bayou, and we will take a short walk down to an intersection of 5 cemeteries, where Saraciea will do an immersive reading of Cemetery Dance Party.

HI-BALLZ will also offer themed drinks for the event!

You can register for this event by ordering the book below. We HIGHLY recommend preordering the book, as we can’t guarantee it won’t sell out!
