Transom Bookshop

If you’ve been in the shop, you’ll know that owner Chris Steib is a horror fan (to put it lightly). And you may know that he's even more of a fan of a horror that has some crime-thriller elements. And even more of a fan if that horror/crime/thriller is the gritty urban noir kind, with supernatural twists with sharp, propulsive writing.
So you’ll not be surprised how insanely thrilled we are that Keith Rosson is coming back to Transom Bookshop to celebrate the release of his brand-spanking-new novel, Crone, on September 25 at 3pm. 
In typical Guest Bookseller fashion, Keith will be casually hanging around the shop, maxing out the Sonos with punk rock playlists, recommending his favorite horror and thriller novels, and of course signing copies of all his books.
Crone (out 9/22) will sell out fast—it’s also our <a target="_blank" href="https://www.transombookshop.com/bookclub" rel="nofollow noopener">Transom Book Club</a> pick in October—<a href="https://www.transombookshop.com/store/p/crone-keith-rosson" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">so click here to pre-order</a> ASAP. We will also have copies of Fever House, Devil By Name, and Coffin Moon (freshly out in paperback 9/22) while supplies last.
