Join us for a special evening with Sandy King and Sean Sobczak, co-writers of the highly anticipated graphic novel John Carpenter's Cathedral, in conversation with Del Howison.

Join us for a special conversation with Sandy King and Sean Sobczak, co-authors of the highly anticipated graphic novel John Carpenter's Cathedral, releasing this August on Storm King Comics alongside a companion heavy metal album of the same name via Sacred Bones Records.
 
Inspired by a vivid nightmare that filmmaker and horror legend John Carpenter could not shake, Cathedral plunges readers into a hallucinatory world of dread lurking beneath Los Angeles. The story follows a chilling chain of murders connected to an abandoned church, unfolding as a dark and cinematic vision that spans both page and sound.
 
Moderating the discussion is award-winning horror author, editor, and bookseller Del Howison, co-founder of the legendary Dark Delicacies bookstore. A longtime champion of the horror genre, Howison will guide the conversation as King and Sobczak discuss transforming Carpenter's unforgettable nightmare into a graphic novel, from developing its haunting world and unforgettable characters to crafting suspense through the unique language of comics.
 
Whether you're a fan of horror, graphic novels, music, or John Carpenter's iconic work, this event offers a rare opportunity to hear from the creators behind one of the year's most anticipated graphic novels and gain an inside look at the creative process that brought this terrifying vision to life.

Copies of John Carpenter's Cathedral will be available for sale at a discounted price and the co-creators will sign copies after the program.
