If you’re looking for a mid-week dose of inspiration, head over to Flying Books on College Street for the launch of Jon Claytor’s new graphic novel, *Nowhere*. This isn't just a standard reading; it’s a full-blown creative showcase.

Why You Should Go *Nowhere* is a haunting, dreamlike exploration of small-town life and the monsters we imagine in our youth. Claytor, an accomplished painter and novelist, will be joined by writer Ian Roy, who is launching his own short story collection, *Astrid, Aghast*. To round out the evening, singer-songwriter José Contreras will provide a live musical set and accompaniment to the readings. It’s a rare chance to see three distinct artistic disciplines—graphic literature, prose, and music—converge in an intimate neighbourhood setting.

About the Venue Flying Books is a staple of the College West community. It’s the perfect spot to grab a new read and support local creators. After the event, you’re perfectly positioned to grab a drink or a bite at one of the many excellent spots along College Street.
