Note: The date for this event has changed from Tuesday, May 17 to Wednesday, May 18. Want to know how to make us lose interest in a book immediately? Tell us it’s part of a vampire trilogy. In this case, though, an excerpt proves Justin Cronin’s The Passage is no cheapo Twilight rip-off. In the first chapter, a down-on-her-luck woman abandons her daughter, Amy, after a vividly described tragic turn of events. Now we’ve got to know how Amy turns out to be the key to saving a post-apocalyptic world from vampiric beings accidentally infected by a government-created virus. Sounds like genre mix-and-match crapola, but Cronin’s PEN/Hemingway Award-winning prose should appeal to horror fans and literary snobs alike. He’ll discuss and sign copies of The Passage at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Barnes & Noble, 7700 W. Northwest Highway. Call 214-739-1124 or visit bn.com for event information, and visit enterthepassage.com for an excerpt.
