New this week — Blood Hunters issue 4 by Vortex’s very own @marysangiovanni.bsky.social

It'd be pretty awesome if folks could help Brian and Mary build out a great place for author events.

Happy to announce the new annex will be open in time for tomorrow's signing. However, getting it to that stage has WIPED OUT the store's bank account. We're only $1,700 away from goal. If you can donate $5, $10, or $20 today, it'll alleviate my current panic attack. www.gofundme.com/f/vortex-boo...

Vortex Books & Comics Expansion, organized by Brian Keenewww.gofundme.com Thanks to the support of our customers, creatives, and the community, things have been so … Brian Keene needs your support for Vortex Books & Comics Expansion

Book Signing today, 1 to 3pm, with bestselling crime and horror author Armand Rosamilia, comedy-horror writer Damien Casey, and Central PA's own Joe Ortlieb. We have plenty of their books for purchase. You may also bring books from home to be signed.

Only $100 away from reaching the halfway point for our store expansion! www.gofundme.com/f/vortex-boo...

Almost to the halfway point! Next donation should get us there!

Five and a half months ago, we opened @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social. It was a stressful undertaking made easier by knowing that so many of you had our back. Yesterday's announced expansion of Vortex was less stressful for that same reason. Thank you all. www.gofundme.com/f/vortex-boo...

Vortex Books & Comics has (mostly) recovered from the absolute glorious chaos that was Aron Beauregard and Kristopher Triana's in-store appearance over the weekend. If you missed them, we now have signed copies available both in the store and on our website. vortexbooksandcomicsonline.bigcartel.com

Folks, we are down to the final 11 days on DEAD FORMAT. If money's tight, you don't have to get a perk. Just donate 5 or 10 bucks. Every dollar helps. We're currently 83% funded, and only need less than $10,000. That comes out to about $1,000 per day. www.indiegogo.com/projects/dea...

Dead Formatwww.indiegogo.com a feature horror film about nostalgia, death, and videotapes

Whew. I am *exhausted*. Aron Beauregard & Kristopher Triana readers assembled! Thanks to everyone who came out today for what was Vortex Books & Comics most successful event yet. Extra special thanks to Aron and Kris. We’ve got signed copies in stock and will add to our online store ASAP! (Brian)

TOMORROW 1pm to 4pm Aron Beauregard & Kristopher Triana Live and in-person. We have plenty of books in stock. You can also bring books from home to be signed.
