It’s nearly time for Halloween! In celebration of the holiday featuring monsters, ghosts, and candy, Tor Books has invited three horror authors to join this month’s #TorChat to discuss the genre this Wednesday, October 19th, from 4 – 5 PM EST!
Tor Books (@torbooks) is thrilled to announce the theme and participants for October’s #TorChat, part of a monthly series of genre-themed, hour-long chats created by Tor Books and hosted on Twitter.
We’re halfway through October, and that means it’s almost time for Halloween! Between the costumes, candy, and things that go bump in the night, this is one of our favourite holidays here at Tor Books. Joining us to celebrate all things ghoulish are authors Jonathan Case (@jonathan_case), the author of DEAR CREATURE, a graphic novel featuring the atomic sea monster Grue, who decides it’s time to climb out of the ocean and into the world to find true love; Joseph Nassise (@Jnassise), the author of EYES TO SEE, an urban fantasy tale full of ghosts and creatures from beyond the grave; and Rhiannon Frater (@RhiannonFrater), the queen of zombies, whose second book FIGHTING TO SURVIVE finds her heroines still kicking zombie butt as they try to figure out how to live in a new world.
The chat will be loosely moderated by Laura Fitzgerald (@Laura_FitzG), of Tor’s digital marketing department. Laura also runs the popular @TorBooks feed and has a paralyzing fear of zombies.
