Get ready for a spooky good time! ARIA Presents “Something Spooky This Way Comes,” an author showcase and book signing event at Borealis Bristol on Thursday, October 24th, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.

Dust off your broomsticks and get your costumes ready! We’re excited to host an evening filled with chills, thrills, and some seriously spooky storytelling from three incredible local authors. They’ll share spine-tingling reads, answer your questions, and sign books. Here’s a taste of what’s in store:

Former Motif Magazine editor Mark Binder will have you on the edge of your seat with tales like A Dead Politician, An Undead Clam, and Loki Ragnarok. With his theatrical flair, he’ll have you laughing and shivering all at once.

Tiverton’s own Rick Rezendes is serving up horror with a side of comedy. With seven books under his belt, including Ground of the Devil and The Revelation of Emma Grace, his work will remind you why Amazon readers can’t get enough of his five-star stories.

And don’t miss JC Brown, who will immerse you in the world of paranormal romance. If Asmodeus the Gift of Lust and Beelzebub the Gift of Gluttony are anything to go by, her books will captivate you and make you wonder if these devilish tales are more than just fiction.

There is no cover charge for this wickedly fun event! Grab a seat (we have room for 40-50), sip on some coffee, enjoy bar bites, grab a cocktail, and prepare for a night of hauntingly good storytelling. You won’t want to miss this!
