This one is for our horror fans, our comic readers, and supporters of local writers and creators!
We are excited to open our doors to share the newest creation by the Sun Bros, Wesley and Brad. Published by Storm King Comics, John Carpenter’s Night Terrors: CHAPLAIN is releasing this July and we’re excited to hold space with BOTH of the Sun Bros to talk about CHAPLAIN, their art, and the journey to creating this newest graphic novel!
Join us on Thursday, July 2nd at 6:00pm here at Restoried Bookshop for conversation with Wesley and Brad Sun. This is a free event, but booking a ticket below helps us to plan for seats and snacks.
There will be light snacks and refreshments during the event.
We’ll have time for questions, conversations, and of course- signing your brand new copy of CHAPLAIN, which will be available for purchase at the event.

John Carpenter’s Night Terrors: CHAPLAIN
Stalked by an ancient unrelenting horror, a weary hospital chaplain and his plucky young intern struggle to survive.
Written by Brad Sun & The Rev Wesley Sun
Art by Raúlo Cáceres & Ryan Winn

That’s right- we’re putting the band back together.

We learned a few lessons along the way and are excited to bring back a book club where we can read for fun and gather with neighbors to talk about it. Or chisme, we’re also open to that, but also the book.
We’ll be posting more soon and updating this with the ballot and the book once chosen, but for now the rest of this is a TBA.
