BHB at the Spooky Market!

September 14 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Free

Join us at the Port of Film Fear Festival for their annual Spooky Market on Saturday, September 14th between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.! We will be selling our favorite horror novels, as well as other creepy goods and gifts. Christina Henry, author of “Horseman” and “The House that Horror Built” will be joining us from 1 to 4 p.m. for a meet and greet with readers!

ABOUT CHRISTINA HENRY

Christina Henry is a horror and dark fantasy author whose works include “Near the Bone”, “The Ghost Tree”, “Looking Glass”, “The Girl in Red”, “The Mermaid”, “Lost Boy”, “Alice”, “Red Queen” and the seven-book urban fantasy Black Wings series.

She enjoys running long distances, reading anything she can get her hands on and watching movies with samurai, zombies and/or subtitles in her spare time. She lives in Chicago with her husband and son.

ABOUT THE HORSEMAN

In this atmospheric, terrifying novel that draws strongly from “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” the author of “Alice” and “The Girl in Red” works her trademark magic, spinning an engaging and frightening new story from a classic tale.

Everyone in Sleepy Hollow knows about the Horseman, but no one really believes in him. Not even Ben Van Brunt’s grandfather, Brom Bones, who was there when it was said the Horseman chased the upstart Crane out of town. Brom says that’s just legend, the village gossips talking.

More than thirty years after those storied events, the village is a quiet place. Fourteen-year-old Ben loves to play “Sleepy Hollow boys,” reenacting the events Brom once lived through. But then Ben and a friend stumble across the headless body of a child in the woods near the village, and the discovery makes Ben question everything the adults in Sleepy Hollow have ever said. Could the Horseman be real after all? Or does something even more sinister stalk the woods?

ABOUT THE HOUSE THAT BUILT HORROR

A single mother working in the gothic mansion of a reclusive horror director stumbles upon terrifying secrets in the captivating new novel from the national bestselling author of “Good Girls Don’t Die” and “Horseman”.

Harry Adams has always loved horror movies, so it’s not a total coincidence that she took the job cleaning house for movie director Javier Castillo. His forbidding graystone Chicago mansion, Bright Horses, is filled from top to bottom with terrifying props and costumes, as well as glittering awards from his career making films that thrilled audiences—until family tragedy and scandal forced him to vanish from the industry.

Javier values discretion, and Harry has always tried to clean the house immaculately, keep her head down, and keep her job safe—she needs the money to support her son. But then she starts hearing noises from behind a locked door. Noises that sound remarkably like a human voice calling for help, even though Javier lives alone and never has visitors. Harry knows that not asking questions is a vital part of working for Javier, but she soon finds that the sinister house may be home to secrets she can’t ignore.
