Book Club | My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones


My Heart Is a Chainsaw is a 2021 horror novel by Stephen Graham Jones and the first book in The Indian Lake Trilogy. Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies…especially the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood actually starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls readers into her dizzying, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold. Yet, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream, a surprising and intimate portrait emerges…a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl beneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry, yes, but also a girl who easily cries, fiercely loves, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feelings are too big for her body. My Heart Is a Chainsaw is her story, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph.

Discussion | What a Way to Go!: A Conversation about the 1964 Shirley MacLaine Film (online)

This over-the-top comedy is a study in excess. Its whimsical premise, colorful set pieces, and sharp humor offers a satirical commentary on the pursuit of wealth and the American Dream.  Susan Claassen has evolved into Managing Artistic Director - Emeritus of Tucson’s Invisible Theatre after fifty years of leadership where she produced and directed over six hundred productions. She was nominated for the 2011 LA Stage Alliance Ovation Award and Broadway World LA  Award as Best Actress for her portrayal of Edith Head in A Conversation with Edith Head and most recently, for The San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle 43rd Annual Excellence in Theatre Awards for Best Solo Production and Best Production. Squire’s multifaceted career has spanned over thirty years in the fashion and entertainment industries, making him the preeminent authority on fashion, beauty, and style.

Film | At Dark, I Become Loathsome by Eric LaRocca


From Eric LaRocca—Bram Stoker Award–nominated and Splatterpunk Award–winning author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke—comes At Dark, I Become Loathsome, a grim yet gentle, horrifying yet hopeful, intense tale of death, trauma, and love. “If you’re reading this, you’ve likely thought that the world would be a better place without you”: A single line of text, glowing in the darkness of the internet. Written by Ashley Lutin, who has often thought the same—and worse—in the years since his wife died and his young son disappeared. But the peace of the grave is not for him—it’s for those he can help. Ashley has constructed a peculiar ritual for those whose desire to die is at war with their yearning to live a better life. Struggling to overcome his own endless grief, one night Ashley finds connection with Jinx—a potential candidate for Ashley’s next ritual—who spins a tale both revolting and fascinating. Thus begins a relationship that traps the two men in an ever-tightening spiral of painful revelations, where long-hidden secrets are dragged, kicking and screaming, into the light. At this event, author Eric LaRocca will discuss their new book and more with fellow author Chuck Wendig.

A lecture by Utsa Hazarika, an artist and writer based in New York. Her research-based practice ranges across video, sound, installation, sculpture and text, and explores how an interdisciplinary dialogue between art and social research can push us to think about power, memory and resistance. Her work has exhibited internationally, including at Socrates Sculpture Park, Smack Mellon, Hessel Museum of Art, and Museum of the City of New York in the United States. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Asialy Bracey Gardella.

Concert | Bassist-Vocalist Spans Jazz and Roots Music


The genre-fluid, accomplished creator Mali Obomsawin is a bassist, composer, vocalist and proud citizen of the Odanak First Nation. Obomsawin's increasingly broad body of work spans jazz and roots music, indie rock and experimental sound, film scoring, and all-ages instruction. An international touring artist and celebrated accompanist, her current projects include the shoegaze duo Deerlady, the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band and her eponymous free-jazz ensemble. Obomsawin's music liberally references her Native heritage and the challenges of realizing freedom under colonialism while challenging listeners with expressive harmonies.
