"Monsters in a Mirror: Strange Tales from the Chapel Perilous" with author phillip low

  • Eat My Words Bookstore 214 13th Avenue NE Minnepolis United States (map)

There is an imperfection in the human mind - a crack, a flaw, a crevice - one that fascinates and repulses all those who find it. It is empty of all but impulse and appetite and the memory of hope. What if you looked over the edge? What if you fell? And after the fall, what would you see in the mirror?

Dragon shadows, bleeding statues, wolf dreams and time machines - your biological clock is ticking, and it's time to get metaphysical in this twisted cabaret of the macabre. This is the road map to your own personal inferno, fondly dedicated to everyone who is dying...especially you.

WARNING: contains tales of horror and dark fantasy, and consequently some disturbing, violent, and sexual imagery, including references to sexual assault..
