Brian Keene Signing: The Afterword
I feel sorry for you if you couldn’t make it to the signing. It was a blast. Brian did several interviews, including one for the store (watch it by scrolling down to the blog below this one), one with some of the YMCA kids, and another with one of the local high schools. Channel 5 was also there. Brian took the questions in stride and answered them like a champ. I was feeling tired for the guy.
Throughout the four hours, there was a steady flow of traffic coming in and out. Keene signed books, comics, and, most interestingly, an electric guitar.
Initially, I didn’t know what to expect. Those pesky butterflies had been floating around in my stomach, that nag in the back of your mind asking what do you do if nobody shows up. It would have been embarrassing to not have pulled in a crowd. You convince this well-known author to come do a signing at your store and the greatest fear is that the turnout will be so poor that you’ll be asking yourself if the apocalypse occurred without you knowing it (c’mon, we’ve all been to a Barnes & Nobles during one of those times). That perhaps you, the author, and a couple of your buddies are the only survivors of an extinction event that happened behind your back. Fortunately, things didn’t play out that way.
Once again, I apologize if you couldn’t make it.
For a much better (and thorough) narrative of events that took place on the 15th, visit Tom Piccirilli’s The Cold Spot and read about it. I think he deserved a shirt.
A huge thanks goes out to Brian for his willingness to jump on a plane, take a ride to the middle of nowhere, and spend hours answering questions, scrawling his name on paper, and never failing to smile for the cameras.
Thanks to Josh for suggesting to Brian that he should make the trip out here.
Thanks to Craig for filming our interview with Brian and doing such a masterful job of editing it.
And thanks to everyone who showed up with books in hand or purchased them from the store. You’re the reason why we did it.
P.S. – As it turns out, Josh really did lose his job the following Monday. Please keep him in your thoughts as he hunts for a new one.
Oh, and I almost forgot: last, but not least, thanks to PJ, who really cannot be thanked ENOUGH!

Hey Everybody,
Another reminder that horror author Brian Keene will be signing copies of his books and his comic Dead of Night: Devil Slayer this Saturday, November 15th, from 1pm to 4pm. I’ve already heard a lot of hype going around, so I’m expecting an admirable turnout.
Many of Brian’s novels will be available for purchase at the store, and we’ll also have copies of Devil Slayer issues 1, 2, & 3 on hand. Feel free to bring your personal copies as well.
Remember, you’ve only got a four hour window to meet the award-winning author of your favorite horror novels!

Toys For Tots
Heroes Only comics and games is a proud sponsor of the Toys For Tots Program.
“The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.”
“The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help needy children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable natural resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.”
We currently have a drop-off box located in the store, so if you’re feeling generous this holiday season and would like to donate toys so that less fortunate children can enjoy a toy-rich Christmas as well, please drop them off at the store.
As a store, we’ve already donated a variety of items, and the box is a beginning to fill up with toys.
Consider this the swift kick to the rear. The point is to make sure as many kids as possible experience a Merry Christmas.
So get out there and give! Whether you use us or one of the many other drop-off locations around town – open your wallets a little wider and GIVE. Let’s make sure as many kids as possible get the kind of Christmas they deserve. Heck, I can guarantee you’ll walk away with that warm-and-fuzzy feeling one gets when giving to a worthy cause!
