We’re so excited to welcome author Margaret Killjoy to the shop for a meet & greet and book signing on Saturday, October 19th!

Margaret will be stopping at Bobzbay Books while touring in support of her latest release, The Sapling Cage, described as “a tale of earth magic, power struggle, and self-invention in an own-voices story of trans witchcraft.”

We’ll have copies of The Sapling Cage (out September 24th!) available to be signed, as well as a handful of each book on her backlist. If you’re a fan of fantasy, speculative fiction, folk horror, dystopian sci-fi, and/or political fiction with anarchist principles, you won’t want to miss this event!

All books will be available for purchase at the event while supplies last, but quantities are limited so pre-orders are highly encouraged! Reserve your book(s) here: https://bobzbay.square.site/mk

About the Author: Margaret Killjoy (she/they) is a transfeminine author, musician, and podcaster. Some of her other books include The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion, A Country of Ghosts, We Won’t Be Here Tomorrow, and Escape from Incel Island. She is the host of the radical history podcast Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff and the individual and community preparedness podcast Live Like the World is Dying. She is the principal songwriter for the atmospheric black metal band Feminazgûl. She lives in West Virginia.

About The Sapling Cage: “Lorel has always dreamed of becoming a witch: learning magic, fighting monsters, and exploring the world beyond the small town where she and her mother run the stables. Even though a strange plague is killing the trees in the Kingdom of Cekon and witches are being blamed for it, Lorel wants nothing more than to join them. There’s only one problem: all witches are women, and she was born a boy.

When the coven comes to claim her best friend, Lorel disguises herself in a dress and joins in her friend’s place, leaving home and her old self behind. She soon discovers the dark powers threatening the kingdom: a magical blight scars the land, and the power-mad Duchess Helte is crushing everything between her and the crown. In spite of these dangers, Lorel makes friends and begins learning magic from the powerful witches in her coven. However, she fears that her new friends and mentors will find out her secret and kick her out of the coven, or worse.”
