Dionne, author of the short story collection Sardines, and thom vernon, author of the forthcoming novel The Drifts and I Met Death & Sex Through My Friend, Tom Meuley.

About Sardines: In this, the author’s first collection, readers will find twelve tinned tales of a world both familiar and disquietingly austere.

About I Met Death & Sex Through My Friend, Tom Mauley: In this dark comedy taking place over twenty-four hours, a blizzard pummels Toronto as a beloved high school teacher coerces his teenage student to assist in his violent suicide forcing the student, his best friend, the friend’s bulimic mom, and a down-low cop to outrun each other, the storm, and the ghosts haunting them. Accessibility information: ASL interpretation will be provided.
