Break your mourning and throw off the black clothes for one evening as Joyland.ca and the Scream Literary Festival peddle eleven readers, raffle prizes, and, yes, T-shirts! Claudia Dey, Rebecca Rosenblum, and Stacey May Fowles read their own work from Joyland and Maggie MacDonald will perform a dramatic reading of a script by Bruce LaBruce. Helping out with cover readings are: Zoe Whittall, Kevin Connolly, Carl Wilson, Emily Holton, and Faye Guenther. And in a very special set, editors Lynn Henry and Michael Holmes read their own writers!

Hosted by Brian Joseph Davis and Emily Schultz, the world’s most incompetent capitalists, who will beg and plead for T-shirt sales in an entertaining fashion throughout the entire night.

Joyland.ca is an international hub for short fiction founded by well-meaning mixed citizenship couple Brian Joseph Davis (CAN) and Emily Schultz (US/CAN). To date the site has featured work by Lydia Millet, Lynn Coady, Jonathan Lethem, Ed Park, Nathan Sellyn, and many other emerging and established talents.
