Lauch Party for my new book, Suspicious Zoology
After a year of work and hair-pulling (largely thanks to my incompetence with InDesign), I’m happy to announce that Suspicious Zoology, The Hollow Earth Society’s highly suspect follow-up to last year’s deeply spurious Suspicious Anatomy, is finally being released next Friday, October 7th.
