The revolution — er, readings — will be televised, or so one zealous person from a local arts website told us before Laird Barron read from hisĀ  “In the Hatch,” a brand new story which is currently being offered as as prize as part of the Shirley Jackson Awards Lottery. Next up was James Morrow, who amused the crowd with sections from The Philosopher’s Apprentice and Shambling Towards Hiroshima. We were quite happy, afterward, knowing that Hitler never got the Lizard.
