Join us for an evening with Stephen Heckler as he presents The Shadow of Midwatch, a story from The Garage House series, a dark saga compared to the works of Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, and Lev Grossman.
About the Book
“The most incorruptible power in all the universes is the spark in a child’s eye… and both sides want it.”
Ten years after the final events of The Garage House Kids, the ancient force known as Midwatch has returned, spreading chaos through every corner of society. At the Redgrave School for the Exceptional, gifted children train for a fight they don’t understand—because Midwatch isn’t coming. It’s already here.
This sweeping fantasy blends time travel, cosmic horror, secret organizations, talking horses, warrior angels, and heart-pounding shifts across dimensions in a battle for humanity’s soul.
About the Author
Steve Heckler was born in Ohio near the fictional town of Brewster Falls, though Steve himself is not fictional. Probably. He lives with his wife of twenty years, one of their three daughters, two stupid dogs, and still near a town that doesn’t exist.
Evening Activities
The event features readings from both The Garage House Kids and The Shadow of Midwatch, followed by Q&A about Steve’s creative process and the series. After the discussion, Steve will sign books and chat with attendees.
Throughout the evening, enjoy complimentary custom cookies from Dear Dolly Custom Cookies in Nashville, coffee, commemorative bookmarks and pins, plus gift card giveaways.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Steve’s work, this promises to be an unforgettable evening of magic, mystery, and cosmic storytelling. Don’t miss this chance to experience one of fantasy’s most innovative new mythologies.
