About this Event
Join us at Shelf Life Books for an event with John Copenhaver and Cheryl Head in which they will discuss the crime anthology Crime Ink: Iconic.
About the Book:
In 2023, crime fiction anthologies featured 517 stories across 30 titles--but shockingly, fewer than 1 percent were penned by LGBTQ+ writers. Crime Ink: Iconic (An Anthology of Crime Fiction Inspired by Famous Queer Icons) is a resounding response to this glaring disparity, offering a vibrant collection of stories by and about queer authors and characters.
Drawing inspiration from queer icons--James Baldwin, Oscar Wilde, Candy Darling, Radclyffe Hall, Babadook, Megan Rapinoe, Laverne Cox, Dolly Parton, Vita Sackville-West, and many more--these tales span the rich spectrum of crime fiction, from cozy mysteries and whodunits to noir, psychological thrillers, and police procedurals. Each story is a testament to the depth, ingenuity, and thrilling originality of queer voices in the genre.
Themed, non-alcoholic beverages will be prepared by Baby Bear Botanicals.
