Annie Bloom’s welcomes local author P. C. Cast for an in-store reading from her new novel, Into the Mist.

A few reminders if you are planning to attend the event:

  • Masks are required, and must be worn at all times. Social distancing is also required, and any photographs or selfies will have to be taken from a distance. Everyone must remain masked while indoors, including for photographs.
  • Our current capacity is for 40 attendees. Seating is also limited, and this reading is first-come, first-served. If we reach capacity, you are welcome to order a copy of Into the Mist here, to be signed after the event, and either picked-up or mailed to you.
  • Out of respect for the author and other attendees, our events have a limit of 2 (two) books brought from home for signing. We will have Into the Mist available for purchase, along with a selection of PC Cast’s other books. PC Cast comes in to sign books regularly, and you are always welcome to order copies for signing and personalization with us here.

Signed and personalized copies of Into the Mist are available for pre-order! Include the name for personalization in the order notes; all orders without a name specified in the order notes will be signed only.

About Into the Mist:

Practical Magic meets Station Eleven in this gripping take on female power and the inevitable, destructive path of violent patriarchies. As men fall to the mist, the age of womankind begins to rise.

The world as we know it ends when an attack on the U.S. unleashes bombs that deliver fire and biological destruction. Along with sonic detonations and devastating earthquakes, the bombs have also brought the green mist. If breathed in, it is deadly to all men—but alters the body chemistry of many women, imbuing them with superhuman abilities. A group of high school teachers heading home from a conference experiences firsthand the strength of these new powers. Mercury Rhodes is the Warrior, possessing heightened physical powers. Stella Carver is the Seer, with a sixth sense about the future. Imani Andrews is the Watcher, with a rare connection to the earth. Karen Gay is the Priestess, demonstrating a special connection with Spirits. And Gemma Jenkins is the Healer, a sixteen-year-old student who joins the group after losing her parents. As they cross the Pacific Northwest, trying to find a safe place to ride out the apocalypse, the women soon learn they can’t trust anyone, and with fresh danger around every corner, it will take all their powers to save themselves—and possibly the world. With timely commentary on power and community, Into the Mist delivers a thrilling and fantastical future that is equal parts a feminist commentary and an amazing, witty adventure filled with wine and women– as only P.C. Cast’s brilliant storytelling can bring to life.

P. C. Cast is a #1 New York Times and #1 USA Today bestselling author who has more than twenty million books in print in over forty countries. She is a proud member of the Oklahoma Writers Hall of Fame and is the author of the wildly popular HOUSE OF NIGHT series, as well as many other YA, fantasy, and paranormal romance books. P.C. splits her time between her beloved Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the Pacific Northwest.
