Celebrate the worldwide release of THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT: NEW TALES OF STEPHEN KING’S THE STAND with a signing by Brian Keene, Bryan Smith, Richard Chizmar, Ronald Malfi, Alma Katsu, Chuck Wendig, and Somer Canon.

The store will be open from 10am until 4pm to both the general public and those who pre-purchased an event ticket. Customers who pre-purchased event tickets can show up at any time that day, and receive their tickets and copies of the book. At 4pm, the store will close for one hour while line formation begins outside. There will be two lines — one for pre-purchased ticket holders and one for the general public.

The doors will reopen at 5pm sharp. Ticket holders will go first, followed by the general public. Ticket holders are guaranteed one book per ticket. The general public will be on a first come, first served basis, as per their place in line.

Due to the expected crowd size, the contributors will sign The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand, and ONE additional book each.

Due to expected crowd size, we are limiting purchases of The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand for the general public to ONE PER CUSTOMER

A reminder to both ticket holders and the general public — this is ONLY for in-store attendance at Vortex on the day of the launch. We are NOT offering mail order or shipping. You must be in attendance to receive your signed copy.
