The tea leaves are telling you to reserve your ticket for this thriller of an afternoon ☕️👻📚

Poisoned Pen Press has sent us 25 SWAG packs for Emma C Wells We Already Dug the Grave. The first 25 customers to reserve a ticket AND purchase Emma’s book as an add-on to their ticket will receive a SWAG pack that includes one cotton tote bag, pair of buttons, postcard with playlist, and a sticker!

Two USA Bestselling thriller authors, one thrilling afternoon!

Emma C Wells and Mallory Arnold will join us at The Haunted Book Shop for an in-conversation and book signing. Both authors are on national tours for their latest thrillers and will team up for one exciting afternoon in Mobile.

Emma C. Wells, known for her debut This Girl’s a Killer, is back with another page-turner, We Already Dug the Grave, which is sure to have her signature wit and suspense. Mallory Arnold, a master of weaving suspense with laugh out loud wit, will make her first stop to our shop with her new work, Cross My Heart, I Hope You Die. The pair will discuss their writing processes, inspirations, and how they manage to keep readers on the edge of their seats. The afternoon will include a Q&A session, book signings by both authors, and a specialty themed cocktail menu at Alchemy Tavern next door.
