After a presentation and Q&A with the author\, the line will form in numbered order with the following guidelines: \n\nPosed photo with your camera taken by our staff\nThere is a limit of 2 books from home to be signed (unless otherwise stated)\nThere is a limit of 1 personalization (unless otherwise stated)\n\n  \nAll events have open seating.

She nests in an abandoned\, isolated warren of office space beneath her patron’s skyscraper\, raising two fractious fledglings: Gorgeous—once a heartthrob\, now to all appearances a living corpse—who longs for the return of the lover who made him immortal with all the fervor of a rebellious teen\, and Fortunata\, the scion of Beatrice’s mistress\, alien and ambitious in her desires. \nBut when Beatrice decides to take on a third fledgling\, the product of an attempted siring gone wrong\, teetering between vampiric purity and ghoulish depravity\, Beatrice finds herself strained to breaking between the societal and physical demands of her position\, her own ravenous hunger\, and an obsessive need to discover what’s happening to her—because her body is changing too\, transforming her into something even more monstrous. She begins to crave the taste of flesh\, something anathema to all vampires\, and to swing between debilitating hunger and vicious power. \nDesperate to master herself once more\, Beatrice courts a mortal OBGYN who might be able to unravel the secrets of her unnatural anatomy. But soon their connection threatens the secrecy of her vampiric coven as well as the safety and development of her dependent nurslings… and the humans they stand to slaughter if left to their own devices. \nAbout the Author:  \nCaitlin Starling is the nationally bestselling author of The Death of Jane Lawrence\, the Bram Stoker-nominated The Luminous Dead\, and Last To Leave The Room.

SUMMARY:Tivoli Theatre - After Hours Film Society Presents Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
DESCRIPTION:CAST & CREW\nDirected by Jane Schoenbrun\nFeaturing Jack Haven\, Hannah Einbinder\, Gillian Anderson\,\nRated R | 112 mins.\n\n\n\n\nMOVIE REVIEW \n‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ is a loving send-up of repressed millennials \nReviewed by Katie Walsh | Chicago Tribune \nJane Schoenbrun’s three narrative features comprise a fascinating trilogy about the mediated world and the identities we locate therein. “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair” (2021) sees a young girl losing herself in an occult online game. “I Saw the TV Glow” (2024) is a dreamy\, metaphysical exploration of 1990s children’s television\, nostalgia\, fandom and trans identity. \nTheir latest film — and arguably their masterpiece\, at least so far — is “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma\,” a sharp\, playful\, sexy and surprisingly warm Hollywood satire about repressed millennials who have outsourced their sexual desire to the movies. The film is a loving send-up of film nerds who’d rather intellectualize and compartmentalize than truly feel in any sort of sensual or embodied way. Packaged in a delightfully erotic and utterly phantasmagoric love letter to 1980s slasher movies\, laced with themes of Lacanian psychoanalysis\, and soundtracked to millennial dog whistles\, it’s Schoenbrun’s battle cry to return to the “flesh and fluids” that made us in the first place. \nSchoenbrun weaves the tapestry of “Camp Miasma” with familiar threads pulled from classic horror\, noir and slasher movies. Hannah Einbinder plays filmmaker Kris\, a “Sundance wunderkind” tasked with reviving the long-dead “Camp Miasma” horror franchise. As Billy Presley\, the aging star of the “Friday the 13th”-style slasher series\, Gillian Anderson is the Norma Desmond to Kris’ Joe Gillis\, and their “Sunset Boulevard” is the abandoned summer camp where the film was once shot. Billy now lives there\, swanning about\, smoking joints\, painting\, serving up platters of fried chicken and watching her film on a personal print. Kris finds her there during a snowy winter storm fit for “The Shining.” \nKris speaks the language of the movies\, and often only that. She references Norma Desmond outright\, and rattles off facts about the stars of “Sleepaway Camp.” Her Sundance movie imagined the violence of “Psycho” from the point of view of the shower curtain. Kris seems to derive dopamine from two primary sources: movie trivia and gummy candy. She’s smart\, neurotic and entirely unsatisfied in her trendy\, sexually fluid polycule\, which unfortunately includes a bisexual man named Thor (Aren Buchholz). \nBut Kris is about to have a second sexual awakening with Billy\, nested within the memory of her very first\, which occurred while watching Billy onscreen in “Camp Miasma.” Simultaneously\, the “Camp Miasma” killer\, Little Death (Jack Haven)\, who has a ceiling vent for a head\, is emerging from the depths of the lake\, summoned by the creative coital energy that Billy and Kris are generating. Imagine the surprise and dismay of all the Hollywood executives when Kris tries to explain via Zoom that Little Death is the ultimate creator here — and he has final cut. \nMaking a movie about making a movie means that Schoenbrun actually gets to make the cheesy ‘80s slasher movie that changed Kris’ life\, with bimbos and himbos and fake blood galore. Schoenbrun respects the genre and its meta-textual ephemera: the VHS tapes\, fan conventions\, and even the think pieces that live on obscure blogs. \nBut what’s fun about Schoenbrun’s movies is that while they are deeply cerebral about the medium-specific and self-reflective ideas on display\, there’s very little actual irony or rug-pulling. There’s a deep-rooted earnestness that pulls it all together. Kris’ Hollywood world is heightened\, yet authentic\, and so is Billy’s reality\, even if the exteriors of the remote\, snowy camp are made of beautiful matte paintings and miniature sets. So are the geysers of blood Little Death summons with a giant spear\, though they are hilariously excessive and digitally pixelated. It’s all fake but it’s all real too\, Schoenbrun seems to be saying. The film is a multilayered confection of “realness\,” a mille-feuille of artifice\, knowingness and films within films. The characters are simultaneously voyeurs and exhibitionists\, subjects and objects\, watchers and the watched. \nOne of the keys to this complex tone lies in the pair of performances at the center. Anderson delivers a breathy\, honey-accented turn as a former screen siren\, playing Billy like a Tennessee Williams heroine. But the revelation is Einbinder\, who has been terrific in “Hacks” but pulls out something much deeper\, and more carnal\, here. She sells both the humor of her nebbish character but also the blooming emotion as she comes into herself\, fully realized. Kris is funny\, earnest\, relatable\, heartbreaking and ultimately empowered\, and the film wouldn’t work without the full range of Einbinder’s performance (and one astonishing close-up). \nThough Schoenbrun is playfully critical about the characters and setting\, there’s also a joy and reverence throughout “Teenage Death and Sex at Camp Miasma\,” which is so much more than genre exercise or knowing pastiche. The message here is to get out of our heads and into our bodies\, and it’s OK if we need movies to do that. Our movies\, ourselves\, after all. \n\n\n\n\nDISCUSSION FOLLOWS EVERY FILM!\n$7.00 Members | $11.00 Non-Members\nTIVOLI THEATRE\n5021 Highland Avenue  |  Downers Grove\, IL\n630-968-0219 |  classiccinemas.com\nWe apologize—Movie Pass cannot be used for AHFS programs

Grounded in pre-war blues and shaped by decades of performing\, traveling\, and sharing music with audiences across North America\, John pairs fingerstyle guitar and bottleneck slide with the storytelling spirit of Americana. His years as both a performer and co-founder of Valparaiso’s Front Porch Music give him a rare perspective on the community that grows around live acoustic music—something Two Way Street understands very well. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nARTIST BIO\n\n\n\n\n\nOriginally from East of Gary\, John Derado plays fingerstyle guitar and bottleneck slide. His roots are firmly planted in traditional pre-war blues with a strong inclination towards the Americana singer/songwriter. He has played throughout the contiguous 48 states\, Canada and Mexico. In 1991 along with Paul Schriener he took time out to open Front Porch Music in Valparaiso\, a retail and performance venue that has hosted such acts as John Hartford\, Paul Geremia\, Donovan\, James Lee Stanley and Jim Post to name but a few. John has opened for many internationally touring acts including Little Feat\, Duke Tumatoe\, Rodney Crowell\, Leon Redbone and Corky Siegel. After performing a few numbers on his own\, Mr. Siegel called John back on stage to play out the rest of the evening with him\, according to John\, “One of the highlights of my career indeed.” Another highlight was being selected by Pinetop Perkins himself to open a star studded 88th birthday party for him in his then hometown of LaPorte\, Indiana.
