Join author Ben Ryan and Invisible Boys director Nick Verso for the launch of Coming Out at the End of the World, a new apocalyptic young adult novel!

Doors open at 6:30 pm. You can get a drink and browse the bookshop.

Have you ever had a secret so big you’d rather the world just ended than having to tell anyone? Alex has one. Then the world actually ended!

When his city is overrun by the undying – reanimated, bloodthirsty corpses – Alex realises that simply surviving the apocalypse is not enough. To truly live, he must finally come out to his tough and distant big brother, Brody, before it’s too late.

But it’s not exactly the kind of thing you bring up while dodging death, fighting your way through hordes with a huge, living-dead beast on your trail. Then Alex glimpses a boy with a beautiful smile out there, all alone in a world full of monsters and he knows… If he stays silent, he’ll be no better than the walking dead.

But what if Alex speaks up and loses the only family he has left? The world may be over. But Alex’s story is just beginning.

'Both heartfelt and horrifying, a moving tale of two brothers determined to protect their bond in a world crumbling around them.' – Nick Verso
