Join CMA Writer-in Residence Ray McManus for a celebratory launch of Julia Elliott’s new book, Hellions (Tin House), one of Lit Hub’s Most Anticipated Books of 2025. From the acclaimed author of The Wilds comes an electric story collection that blends folklore, fairy tales, Southern Gothic, and horror, reveling in the collision of the familiar with the wildly surreal. With exuberance, ferocity, and astounding imagination, Hellions jumps from the occult to the comic and from the horrific to the wondrous, presenting earthbound characters who long for the otherworldly. Grab a glass of sparkling wine, buy a book, and join McManus and Elliott for a reading and conversation followed by a book signing courtesy of All Good Books.
