HUSK, Zombies and THIN AIR 2012

September 21, 7:30 pm 

As part of the Thin Air Writers Festival, Corey Redekop will be travelling west to Brandon for a reading of his new novel HUSK. 
Followed by the local premiere of the new Canadian zombie film A Little Bit Zombie.

Ticket price remains the same!

Infected by a virus during his bachelor party, a mild mannered HR manager attempts to fulfill his overwhelming desire for brains and avoid Max, the obsessed Zombie Hunter hot on his trail. 
All while keeping it together so as not to incur the wrath of his Bridezilla-to-be.


****
Winnipeg Free Press Cafe, 237 McDermot Avenue
September 22, 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm

Corey Redekop will read from his sharply funny novel HUSK, in which a newly-minted zombie attempts to balance family, career and cannibalism.

Also...
Steve Currie, Aaron Simm, J-La, Faiza, and Dylan Mowatt - the poetry slam finalists who will represent Winnipeg at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Saskatoon this fall.

A Haiku Death Match.  The audience votes for who will be the Haiku Master! 

Tickets are $5, available at the door or in advance to September 20
Call (204) 927-7323 or go to THIN AIR 
Enter our door prize draw for a copy of Husk. You can also purchase copies on-site.

In September Winnipeg welcomes writers from Canada and around the world for a week of readings, lectures, interviews, conversations, book launches, and other events. That week of literary feasting is THIN AIR, the Winnipeg International Writers Festival. With programming for adults and children, in English and French, THIN AIR is an infusion of energy into the thriving literary culture of this city.
