SUMMARY:Trish O'Kane talk with "Birding to Change the World"
DESCRIPTION:The NewSouth Bookstore welcomes Trish O’Kane back to Montgomery for a talk about her new book\, Birding to Change the World\, on Thursday\, March 28 at 5:30pm. O’Kane claims she’s an accidental ornithologist. In her nearly two decades spent as an investigative journalist she never paid much attention to nature. Hurricane Katrina changed all that. To read her book is to gain a special perspective on the natural world and one’s relationship with it. It’s a warm and compelling weave of science and social engagement. About the book Bill McKibben comments\, “Not just a delightful story but a powerful one\, showing how we can open doors into the natural world\, and hence into the fight to defend it. Birds as teachers — a wonderful idea!”

SUMMARY:Join Historian Ann Boutwell for a presentation on the life of Daniel Pratt
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 14 at 5:30pm\, historian Ann Boutwell\, board member of the Autauga County Heritage Association\, presents on her absolutely favorite subject\, the life of Daniel Pratt. Pratt’s name is familiar to many\, but few know the scope of his achievements\, which include founding of the town of Prattville; the development of not one but several mill businesses there and elsewhere; his advocacy for the introduction of industry in our state; his hiring of Black and White millworkers and for being among the first to provide schools and churches for millworker families; and his philanthropy\, especially during the hard years following the Civil War. Pratt’s achievements are described in two books we have for sale: Honorable Daniel Pratt: A Biography\, with Eulogies on His Life and Character\, edited by Mrs. S.F. Tarrant (1904)\, and The World of Daniel Pratt: Essays on Industry\, Politics\, Art\, Architecture\, Reform\, and Town-Building in Alabama\, edited by Curt J. Evans and with essays by other Alabama historians (1999). \nBOOKSTORE EVENT BONUS!

SUMMARY:Meet Johnny Compton\, Author of "The Spite House!"
DESCRIPTION:Horror author JOHNNY COMPTON is coming to Mobile! The Haunted Book Shop is thrilled to host Johnny Compton for conversation\, followed by a book signing\, of his debut southern gothic paranormal novel The Spite House. Publisher’s Weekly called this smash hit “horror with heart.” Great for fans of Stephen Graham Jones\, Rebecca Roanhorse\, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia. \nHere’s an excerpt from the review by Kait\, of the Haunted Book Shop: “Eric Ross and his two daughters are living out of motel rooms when Eric gets a job to stay at a spite house to try to capture any evidence of supernatural activity. The twist about why the family is on the run is epic! Eric is a bad dude for staying in that creepy house by himself to try to make a better life for himself and his girls!” \nWhat’s In Store? \nIn-conversation: We will have an in-conversation portion with Johnny Compton who will accept questions from the audience. \nBook Signing: Johnny Compton will be signing copies of the paperback edition of his debut horror novel. Only books purchased from The Haunted Book Shop may be personalized by the author. \nSpecialty Cocktails: Next door at The Alchemy\, enjoy a Johnny Compton-themed cocktail menu. \nEase Your Wait!\nWe’ll be using a timed-entry system for the book signing. So instead of tiring while you wait\, you’ll have more time to explore and sip on those delicious cocktails! \nPurchase of the book is your ticket to the event. \nAbout the Book\nEric Ross is on the run from a mysterious past with his two daughters in tow. Having left his wife\, his house\, his whole life behind in Maryland\, he’s desperate for money—it’s not easy to find steady\, safe work when you can’t provide references\, you can’t stay in one place for long\, and you’re paranoid that your past is creeping back up on you. \nWhen he comes across the strange ad for the Masson House in Degener\, Texas\, Eric thinks they may have finally caught a lucky break. The Masson property\, notorious for being one of the most haunted places in Texas\, needs a caretaker of sorts. The owner is looking for proof of paranormal activity. All they need to do is stay in the house and keep a detailed record of everything that happens there. Provided the house’s horrors don’t drive them all mad\, like the caretakers before them. \nThe job calls to Eric\, not just because there’s a huge payout if they can make it through\, but because he wants to explore the secrets of the spite house. If it is indeed haunted\, maybe it’ll help him understand the uncanny power that clings to his family\, driving them from town to town\, making them afraid to stop running. A terrifying Gothic thriller about grief and death and the depths of a father’s love\, Johnny Compton’s The Spite House is a stunning debut by a horror master in the making. \nAbout the Author\nThe short stories of Johnny Compton (he/him) have appeared in Pseudopod\, Strange Horizons\, The No Sleep Podcast and many other markets. He is an HWA member and creator and host of the podcast Healthy Fears\, which covers how our fears are explored through horror fiction. The Spite House is his first novel. \nTickets are limited. Purchase your book (and your ticket!) now to secure your spot for an evening of southern gothic goodness! \nLooking forward to seeing you there!
