No, it’s not the house where vampire Barnabas Collins of the gothic soap opera Dark Shadows lives—that would be Collinwood—but you’ll definitely find some spooky deals there! The Collingswood Book Festival returns for its lucky 13th anniversary this October, to fill the streets of this quaint New Jersey town with book lovers, and StarWarp Concepts will be making its debut appearance there! Unfamiliar with the Collingswood Book Festival? Well, to quote the festival’s site:

The 13th Annual Collingswood Book Festival makes a triumphant return as bibliophiles converge in this historic South Jersey town to celebrate everything about the written word. The Collingswood Book Festival is a big literary event that exudes small-town, friendly ambience. A week of activities will culminate on Saturday, October 3. Festival-goers will have an opportunity to stroll more than six blocks of Haddon Avenue filled with nationally recognized authors/speakers for adults and children, as well as booksellers, storytellers, poetry readings, workshops, exhibitors and performance stages. All events are free.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to cancel our appearance at last year’s show, so this gives us a brand-new chance to introduce readers to the adventures of Pandora Zwieback, Lorelei, Troubleshooters Incorporated, Carmilla, John Carter of Mars, and all the rest. And what better time for a dark-fantasy publisher to show up than for the festival’s thirteenth year?

Collingswood Book Festival takes place—rain or shine—on Saturday, October 3, 2015, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For more information, including travel directions, visit the CBF website. I won’t know the location of the SWC booth until they finalize their plans in September, but once I get that information I’ll be sure to pass it along.

Hope to see you there!
