Join us at The Nonbinarian Bookstore for an after hours publication day book launch of Root Rot by Saskia Nislow (Creature Publishing) in conversation with author Megan Milks (Margaret and the Mystery of the Missing Body).
Come meet The Liar, The Secret Keeper, The Crybaby, and the rest.
Nine children travel with their families to their Grandfather's vacation property, where strange things begin to happen: eyes blink from the bottom up, mushrooms ooze blood, people's faces don't hang right anymore-except they do, once you look more closely. Transformations warp the children's sense of time and place, the very land itself seeming to encroach upon them.
As The Liar watches the children succumb one by one to an unknown fate, she must make sense of absent stars in the night sky, vials of amber liquid that taste of milk, a funny little rope tied in knots. She's faced with a choice: join or resist, only the choice is not so simple.
Set in The Grandfather's Lake House as he continues to extend his property lines and told in the eerie we of the children, Root Rot explores predatory family dynamics, the boundaries of bodies and home, and how individuals choose to participate in or push back against structures that would harm them.
Please RSVP so we can get an accurate headcount & order enough books! Bring your comrades, bring your exes, bring the polycule for an after hours publication day book launch.
