Fond du Lac native Christopher Micklos will be coming home to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the publication of his debut novel TICK TOWN at Chapter 52 Bookstore. The event will take place on Saturday, June 27, from 10:00a - 12:00n, and Micklos will be meeting readers and selling and signing copies of TICK TOWN. He'll also have the new Wisconsin-set anthology A WISCONSIN HARVEST OF HORROR, which includes his new pulp horror story "Hell Bugs".
TICK TOWN is a fun, fast-paced pulp horror adventure about a small northern Wisconsin tourist town that becomes the feeding ground for a band of giant, mutant ticks. Micklos calls TICK TOWN his "love letter" to the big-bug b-movies of the 1950’s & '60's and the pulp horror paperbacks and comics of the 70’s and 80’s.
British Godfather of Gore Shaun Hutson says: "TICK TOWN is a great throwback to the golden age of pulp horror paperbacks, books like THE RATS, SLUGS and BATS OUT OF HELL. Books that shaped a genre and gave so much enjoyment to so many. Books like this don't come along very often so make sure you don't miss it."
And legendary horror author Ramsey Campbell says: "The giant bugs are back with a gruesome vengeance! Lovers of the kind of monstrous plague the Guy N. Smith tradition loosed upon the world should find much to relish in this book.”
Christopher Micklos is a life-long horror junkie, an award-winning filmmaker, and a frequently published writer of horror-themed fiction and non-fiction. He grew up in Fond du Lac and graduated from Goodrich High School as part of the class of 1988. He now lives in Madison, WI.
