Bigfoot on the loose tonight at Auntie’s

Dan Webster

Tonight will be Bigfoot night at Auntie's Bookstore. Authors Shama Shields and Randy Henderson will read from their respective works beginning at 7 p.m.

Shields is known for her acclaimed novel "The Sasquatch Hunter's Almanac," which Kirkus Reviews described this way: "Imagine a mashup of Moby-Dick and Kakfa’s Metamorphosis (with a hearty dash of Twin Peaks thrown in), and you’ll begin to get an idea of what Shields' ambitious tale of disenchantment sets out to do."

Henderson is the author of such novels as "Bigfootloose" and "Finn Fancy Necromancy," which National Public Radio described like this: "(E)ven though it deals with sinister magic and family tragedy, it counterbalances that darkness with something that's become increasingly rare in fantasy fiction: laughs, laughs, and more laughs."

My advice: Arrive early. Seating is limited.
