Visit Shady Character Books on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 10:00a to 2:00p to meet horror author and filmmaker Christopher A. Micklos!Hang out at the shop, chat with Christopher, and have him sign your copy of his debut pulp horror novel, TICK TOWN.
TICK TOWN is a fun, fast-paced pulp horror adventure about a small Midwestern 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 A. Micklos is a life-long horror junkie, an award-winning filmmaker, and a frequently published writer of horror-themed fiction and non-fiction. He works and lives in Madison, WI. Find out more about Christopher, his writing, and his movies at https://christophermicklos.com/ .
