With all apologies to agents Mulder and Scully, you may never find out if the truth is really out there. But you can get a bit out-of-this-world at Murder by the Book’s Paranormal Signing Night. “Paranormal mysteries and thrillers usually involve characters who are ghosts, vampires, werewolves or some other fantasy creature,” says MBTB’s resident witch of weirdness, Anne Kimbol. She also points to the popularity of the Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse and Twilight series — especially among adults — as evidence of their high pop culture popularity.
At today’s group signing, three Texas-based authors of paranormal fiction will discuss and sign their latest works — Victoria Laurie with Ghouls Just Haunt to Have Fun, Dakota Cassidy with The Accidental Human and Michele Bardsley with Over My Dead Body. “They are writing on the ‘lighter’ side of the [genre],” says Kimbol. “And there’s romance!” Romance that involves a string of garlic and a crucifix, no doubt. 6:30 p.m. Murder by the Book, 2342 Bissonnet. For information, call 713-524-8597 or visit www.murderbooks.com. Free.
