About this Event
We are so excited to welcome beloved Science Fiction author John Scalzi to the Co-op!
John will discuss his newest novel MONSTERS OF OHIO. A Q&A and book signing will follow the conversation.
About the Book: Welcome to Richland, Ohio. Things aren't great.
The town’s biggest employer is closing shop, and Richland's on the brink. It's where Mike Boyd, with his own set of problems, finds himself returning to after decades away.
He's not planning to stay.
But Richland has other plans for Mike, his old friend Dave, and a newcomer Andi. They're caught in a swirl of local troubles, private equity, executive theft… and something extremely weird involving Jeremy Keller’s prize cow.
Welcome to Richland. Leave your expectations behind. Bring a tarp.
