On Friday 22 July, at 7PM, the KGB Bar (85 East 4th Street, New York, New York) will be the site of a “Readings from Supernatural Noir” event, hosted by editor Datlow, with readings by several contributors to the anthology, including:
Paul G. Tremblay, who is the author of the novels The Little Sleep and No Sleep Till Wonderland, and whose short fiction has been collected in In the Mean Time and Compositions for the Young and Old.
Jeffrey Ford, who is the author of the novels The Physiognomy, Memoranda, The Beyond, The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque, The Girl in the Glass, and The Shadow Year. His short fiction has been published in three collections. His fiction has won The World Fantasy Award, The Nebula Award, The Edgar Allan Poe Award, and Gran Prix de l’Imaginaire.
Richard Bowes, who has written five novels, two short fiction collections, and fifty short stories. He has won two World Fantasy Awards and the Lambda, International Horror Guild, and Million Writers Awards. His novel-in-progress is Dust Devil: My Life in Speculative Fiction.
Gregory Frost, whose latest work is the fantasy duology, Shadowbridge and Lord Tophet. His earlier novels include Fitcher’s Brides, a World Fantasy Award and International Horror Guild Award finalist for Best Novel; Tain, Lyrec, and Nebula-nominated sf work The Pure Cold Light. His short story collection, Attack of the Jazz Giants & Other Stories was called by Publishers Weekly “one of the best fantasy collections of the year.”

Dark Horse will be publishing Supernatural Noir, an anthology of original tales of the dark fantastic from twenty modern masters of suspense, on 22 June. Books will be available for sale at the event.
This special reading follows by two days the regular Fantastic Fiction reading, on 20 July, which will feature Katherine Vaz and Geoff Ryman. Datlow posted photos from this week’s reading (Sarah Langan and Glen Hirshberg) in this Flickr set.
