Join us for another installment of Novel Night, a monthly celebration of all things prose! Here’s how it works: published authors will read from their books and there’ll be an audience Q & A. And we’ll also have “Book Talk,” in which an intrepid Malvern staff member will introduce you to one of our favorite prose titles. Also worth noting: we’re offering 20% OFF ALL FICTION TITLES during Novel Night (from 6pm till closing).

Novel Night

This month’s Novel Night authors are H. Claire Taylor and Jonathan Woods.

A reluctant messiah. A power-hungry preacher. The hilarious battle for hearts and minds is only beginning… Jessica McCloud knows firsthand that it’s impossible to fit in when you’re God’s only begotten daughter. While the girl possesses the power to smite and a direct line to the Almighty, she’d give it all up for a few more friends … or a reliable set of God-proof earplugs…

H. Claire Taylor is the author of the Jessica Christ series, a comedy about the life of God’s only begotten daughter, and has published over two dozen novels under various pen names. When she’s not writing, you can find her buried in a book, thinking deeply about ghosts, or soaking up the Texas sun.

Like Hunter S. Thompson crossbred with Gil Brewer, Woods revels in paranoia, hallucinations, hapless saps, and language both playful and profane. Exuberantly shotgunning pulp-fiction clichés (from Mexican sojourns to Nazi scientists), he slathers on film noir homage and shakes until it explodes like the radioactive suitcase at the end of Kiss Me Deadly. Pulpy, pervy fun for those who like the wild stuff. —Keir Graff, Booklist

Jonathan Woods lives a pulp fiction existence in the Texas hill country. He is the author of the
Spinetingler Award winner Bad Juju & Other Tales of Madness and Mayhem; A Death in Mexico; Phone Call from Hell and Other Tales of the Damned; and Kiss the Devil Good Night. His new novel Hog Wild is forthcoming.
