Author Chat & Book Signing with Lauren T. Davila

​Sat, October 10 | 6:00–7:30 PM
Long Dark House | 1510 King Street, Alexandria, VA

​Join us at Long Dark House for an evening with Lauren T. Davila, Pushcart-nominated author, anthologist, and acquisitions editor, celebrating her debut magical-realism collection, The Patron Saint of White Menageries.

​In The Patron Saint of White Menageries, Davila cracks Los Angeles open to reveal a kaleidoscope of unlikely heroines, talents, and dreams. Strange, imaginative, and beautifully unexpected, this collection feels right at home at Long Dark House.

​We'll spend the evening chatting with Lauren about her work, the stories behind the collection, writing magical realism, and the creative process—followed by audience Q&A and a book signing.

​📚 Books will be available for purchase from Long Dark House at the event.
