About this Event
Join The Horror Church Bookshop and Queerolina at Longleaf Hotel for an evening of dark fiction, community, and celebration!
From 6–9 PM, explore an incredible lineup of local horror authors sharing their books, signing copies, and connecting with readers who love a good scare.
Throughout the evening, immerse yourself in all things fiendish —
browse spine-chilling reads,
meet the storytellers behind them,
and discover your next favorite nightmare.
Whether you're here to support local authors, add to your horror collection, or simply spend an evening with fellow lovers of the macabre, this is a space to connect, celebrate, and embrace the dark side. Come browse, shop, and spend the evening with your community. We can't wait to see you there.
