TALES TO KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT - Release Event

I’ll be doing a reading, signing, and Q&A with booksellers at Inquiring Minds Bookstore in Saugerties, NY on Saturday, August 20th starting at 7pm. Hope you can make it!

Saturday 8/20 @ 7pm: Book Launch for Dan Poblocki's Tales to Keep You Up at Night

Join us Saturday evening with local Saugerties author Dan Poblocki! There will be a reading, Q&A, and book signing.  

From Dan's website:

"From the co-author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Magic Misfits, comes a spectacularly spooky novel that will keep you up way past bedtime.

Perfect for fans of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark!

Amelia is cleaning out her late grandmother’s attic when she stumbles across a book: Tales to Keep You Up at Night. But when she goes to the library to return it, she’s told that the book never belonged there. Curious, she starts to read the stories: tales of strange incidents in nearby towns, of journal entries chronicling endless, twisting pumpkin vines, birthday parties gone awry, and cursed tarot decks. And at the center of the stories lies a family of witches. And witches, she’s told, can look like anyone…

As elements from the stories begin to come to life around her, and their eerie connections become clear, Amelia begins to realize that she may be in a spooky story of her own…

With hair-raising, spine-chilling prose, Dan Poblocki delivers a collection of interconnected stories that, if you’re anything like Amelia, is sure to keep you up late in the night."
