This week's events: The Rift Walker and Dark Tangos, both at Quail Ridge Books

This week sees Raleigh's Quail Ridge Books hosting two events of note:

1. Thursday, September 16, 7:30 pm: Clay and Susan Griffith for The Rift Walker: Vampire Empire, Book 2:

So many links have popped up, but most recently a great review from Paul Goat Allen is a good place to get started. There's a Facebook event by which you can invite your friends, the Quail Ridge event page to send around, and the current fall events flyer to print out and post and hand around as well.

2. Friday, September 17, 7:30 pm: Lewis Shiner for Dark Tangos:

You can of course read Richard Dansky's review of the book, along with an at-length interview of Shiner, in Bull Spec #6. He also wrote a short essay for John Scalzi's Whatever blog's "Big Idea" series, about violence -- very much worth the read, and there's another (shorter) interview courtesy the book's publisher, Subterranean Press. There's a Facebook event with which you can invite your friends, the Quail Ridge event page to send around, and yes that current fall events flyer to print out and post and hand around.

There you go! Two reading events this week very much worth taking the time for.
