Join us for today at 6pm at Calgary Downtown library with bestselling author @richardvancamp as he launches his two latest books: “BEAST,” and graphic novel, “Wheetago War: ROTH.” We’ll also discuss the role Calgary has played in his writing career, and have time for book signing. It’s free! And @alexanderfinbow will be joining Richard to chat too.

Richard Van Camp and Christopher Shy’s graphic novel follows a local hero named Ross, who is bitten by a Wheetago at his cabin in northern Edmonton. The province of Alberta is crawling with the deadly monsters and Ross must form an alliance with escaped prisoners in order to reach his family, who are trapped in the city.
Half-transformed, Ross holds onto his humanity with the help of his family medicine. But the Wheetago are not discouraged — they’ve already renamed him “Roth” and wait for him to join their “gruesome crusade.”

Thank you @prairiecomicsfestival for a wonderful celebration of comics and comic creators. And thank you Winnipeg & @winnipegpubliclibrary for the warm welcome.

Helping readers discover the variety and breadth of comics & graphic novels is important, more so now given the dearth of quality media coverage of the medium. Talk about the stories you like/love, share your favourites. Remember libraries are great when your budget or space for books is limited.

It’s better to shout out what you like rather than post about what you don’t. Positivity is better for all of us.
