Space Cocaine Reading

Belmont Books 3415 SE Belmont St, Portland, OR, United States

Four authors. One anthology. One space. Join Jessie Kwak, Grá Linnaea, Andrew McCollough, and Mark Teppo as they read from SPACE COCAINE, a new anthology of totally unrelated stories that are wrapped in a cover that has a wizard and a dragon on it. It'll be an evening of interstitial slipstreaming across the liminal fringes. You won't want to miss it because we're producing an edition of SPACE COCAINE that will only be available this evening.

It's an invite unlike many you'll come across, wherein we want you to meet us for a bite to eat at Nick's Famous Coney Island to celebrate the last day of Burger Week before a reading at Belmont Books. After each author reads for about ten minutes, we'll head over to Rendez Vous down the block for a cocktail or tea. What we want is a community of readers who get to know the authors, find new ones, and branch outside their favorite genre–if not just to tell a friend. Belmont Books is a lovely, if not smaller bookstore. That means you we may be at…
