Come and celebrate the launch of Nowhere with Jon Claytor and special guests, Ian Roy and José Contreras! This event is free and open to the public.
A hilarious and sinister reflection on growing up in a world where monsters are real, Nowhere is a dreamlike meditation on adolescence and the absurdity of small-town life. Jon will be reading from this unforgettable graphic novel, Ian will be reading from his brand new short story collection, Astrid, Aghast, and singer-songwriter José will play a short set and musical accompaniment to the evening’s readings.
