“Bizarro Day” Bookstore Event Follow-Up

Had a fabulous time last weekend at Backlist Books in Massillon, Ohio -- a great new indie bookstore that does a knock-out job supporting not only speculative genre fiction (horror, science fiction and fantasy literature), but also the independent press.  It's good to see a place like this in the Midwest region of the country.  They carry any number of books that I have only heretofore seen available online (especially when it comes to 'bizarro' fiction), lots of genre magazines, classic titles of science fiction and fantasy...
