Quoth the Raven... "Come to our event celebrating RAVEN by Lyndsay Faye on October 8th." Pretty sure that's what Poe wrote verbatim.

October is almost here! Come enjoy spooky season with us with book releases such as RAVEN by Lyndsay Faye, a Steamy vs Spooky Author panel, and our annual Spooky Boozy Book Fair. 🎃👻🦇 #events #dmv #arlington #october #indiebookstore

Let's go ghouls... Fall is here and spooky season has just begun. So let's celebrate with a battle of the supernatural genres: romance vs. horror. Join us for this very special panel of authors on Thurs Oct 22nd at 7pm, featuring Sonora Taylor, L. Marie Wood, and Avery Flynn.
