Book Launch

**The Blight is coming to Toronto**

Join Aurora Award nominee Rachel A. Rosen at Glad Day Bookshop on July 3, 2025

A compulsive read: angry, articulate, and lyrical ... Rosen is rapidly proving herself to be the twenty-first century’s answer to John Brunner. — Peter Watts, author of Blindsight
Rachel A. Rosen is a superb prose stylist and an incisive social commentator. Her post-apocalyptic Canada will haunt you forever ... Look for this one on the award ballots.” — Robert J. Sawyer

Join Rachel A. Rosen for the launch of Blight, the second book in her Sleep of Reason trilogy. Rachel will talk about how a fantasy featuring demons and sea monsters and wizards (oh my!) is relevant to life in 2025, speculative fiction as a terrain for resisting fascism, and writing about future events before they become historical events.

There will be a reading, conversation, and Q&A.

The event is free and open to the public. Glad Day serves a delicious selection of food and drink.

When: Thursday, July 3, 2025

When: 6:30-8:30 PM

Where: Glad Day Bookshop, 499 Church St, Toronto, ON M4Y 2C6 | Phone: (416) 901-6600

The BumblePuppy Press and Rachel Rosen gratefully acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts through The Writers' Union of Canada, and thank Glad Day Bookstore for hosting this event.
