Best known for his surreal horror tome House of Leaves, author Mark Z. Danielewski keeps things creepy in this exploration of small town Orvop, Utah. See, his new novel finds Orvopians in the fall of 1982 facing down the undead, fallen mountains, and much more on account of two horses – which probably means more than the plot description lets on. Danielewski visits local indie giant BookPeople to celebrate the book’s release and sign a few copies. – James Scott
