Thursday, August 17th || 6 – 8 || The Book Tavern 

Meagan Lucas joins friends pf the shop Brian Panowich to discuss her new collection of short stories, HERE IN THE DARK.

This is the first collection form award-winning author Meagan Lucas, is a gritty genre blending wallop of short, set mostly in southern Appalachia, that explore the female experience of lawlessness. In the tradition of Dorothy Allison and Bonnie Jo Campbell, Lucas Tackles, with unsettling honesty: poverty, addiction, motherhood, and social justice in an increasingly troubled cultural climate. These are character-driven stories about crime, but less a who-done-it mystery and more a meditation on how the vulnerable navigate a world devoid of true justice. Unflinching in it’s gaze, HERE IN THE DARK is an ambitious collection from a bold and empathetic storyteller.

This event is free with limited seating || Book is out July 14th
