John Langan joined Carrie-Edmund Laben in conversation about Weird Horror for the book launch last night at The Twisted Spine. “As with their previous novel, Laben takes the foundational material of cosmic horror and brings it into the twenty-first century with wit and invention.” —John Langan

Published by Word Horde in 2016, The Fisherman would go on to win the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel. As much a meditation on grief as a horror epic, The Fisherman has been called literary horror at its sharpest and most imaginative.

A photo from tonight's event at The Twisted Spine: @carrielaben.com in conversation with @johnlangan.bsky.social for the launch of Carrie-Edmund's new novel SMOKE SEASON.

The two authors seated in comfy chairs against a backdrop of bookshelves. On the left is Carrie-Edmund Laben, talking into a microphone. On the right is John Langan, listening intently as Carrie-Edmund speaks. The lighting is a little odd, so it looks like there's a spotlight on John as he listens.
