Join Us on Thursday April 24 at 6:30pm for an Exclusive Conversation with Author Emily Carpenter!

We’re thrilled to welcome acclaimed author Emily Carpenter as we celebrate the release of her highly anticipated novel, Gothictown! An Auburn University alum and a prolific writer, Emily’s latest work is garnering rave reviews—including right here at AOCB!

Our resident horror aficionado, Bookseller Robin, shares their excitement:

Emily Carpenter is quickly becoming one of my new favorite authors. Her distinctly Southern Gothic voice evokes the greats like Michael McDowell and Shirley Jackson. I’m flying through her backlist and can’t wait for Gothictown to hit shelves so I can share it with our customers!

Adding to the excitement, Gothictown is currently in development for a TV adaptation with AMC, helmed by showrunner Abby Ajayi.

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Emily in person, get your copy signed, and discover your next favorite read—before it comes to life on screen!
