KASEY IRIS "GHOUL" RELEASE PARTY

Featured Book

Ghoul

When they were little, Lyn and Meg promised to be friends forever…but now Meg is dead, and Lyn is 15 and miserable. Moving into a new condo with her family doesn’t help, especially given the gossipy neighbors. But just when Lyn needs a friend the most, a monstrous cartoon ghoul climbs out of the pages of a comic book and into her life! The bizarre duo will soon discover just how many secrets lie within the walls of Forest Court Apartments.

This book will be available for purchase at the event.

About This Event

Be careful what you wish for! Top Shelf Productions is set to release a macabre take on the imaginary friend with KASEY IRIS' "Ghoul"! This 292-page full-color graphic novel from newcomer Kasey Iris centers on a lonely Filipino-American teen and her ghoulish companion putting a spooky twist on a friendship from beyond.

We're HUGE fans of Kasey's work! We've carried her self-published books Buridemon and Red, and she even designed our 2023 I Love You But I've Chosen Comics sale t-shirt! Now we're SO EXCITED to host this Release Event for her debut graphic novel!

Our GHOUL RELEASE PARTY is Saturday, May 9th from 6:00pm to 9:00pm! We'll have some drinks and snacks and Kasey will be curating the music (we just haven't told her that yet).

“I wrote Ghoul as a gift to my younger self and as a little escape from reality. It is a reimagination of my own experiences with love, loss, and hope,” says creator Kasey Iris. “Ghoul is a reminder that while everything may seem complicated and dark, there is still joy and light in this world.

Kasey also created a Spotify PLAYLIST to accompany her debut: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2cB0T15zfVhiRI74URLeMI?si=iVxN8q14Rfq-H5bQDrmxhQ
