Cupid’s Bookshop and Thrillerdelphia are teaming up for romance, horror, and one very bad case of demonic soulmates.

Join us Thursday, August 20th at 6:30 PM at Love City Brewing for an author event with Clay McLeod Chapman, celebrating his new novel, Devil Inside.

In Devil Inside, Jordan is trying to rebuild his life after a traumatic accident leaves him dead for two minutes. A year later, he’s almost himself again—except for the black void in his heart he can’t seem to fill.

Then he meets Lilith.

Their connection is instant. Impossible to ignore.

And the next time he sees her, she’s in a different body.

This is exactly the kind of book that lives in the overlap between Cupid’s and Thrillerdelphia: romantic, horrifying, obsessive, strange, and deeply unwell in the best possible way!

Event Details
Thursday, August 20th
6:30 PM
Love City Brewing
4232 Main Street, Philadelphia, PA 19127

Tickets are $30 per person and are required for entry.

Come for the doomed romance. Stay for the possession.
