Hi again, folks! Now that you're all settled into your fall routine, we're checking in to let you know about new books and exciting happenings here at the Gothic Bookshop.
It's been a long, long two weeks since you've heard from us, we know. If you start to miss us between newsletters, you can always follow us on Facebook or Twitter. We send regular updates on new releases, reviews, and random, book-related awesomeness.
So link up with us, and you'll never again have to go so long without a blast of exciting Gothic gab.

So Maybe You've Heard of this Dan Brown Guy?
That's right, readers. The new Dan Brown novel, The Lost Symbol, has finally been
released, and we've got it on our shelves! The New York Times Book
Review gave Brown's book a great review (read it here), so it looks like we're all in
for another suspenseful ride.
We're selling The Lost Symbol at our
regular 20% discount, so come on in and pick up a copy. We're betting
that you can't wait until the weekend to start it...
Retail Price: 29.95
Gothic Price: 23.96

Graphic Novelists at Perkins Library!
  
Some of you who have taken the time to explore the deep recesses of The Gothic may have noticed our ever-expanding graphic novel section. Whether your taste runs to Manga, Marvel, or Meandering Musings, we've got you covered.
For this reason (and because many of us here are, quite simply, comic book geeks), we at the Gothic are very excited about the upcoming "Graphic Novelists at the Libraries" event. On Tuesday, September 29th from 4:00 to 6:00, the comic artists Liz Baillie, Ken Dahl, and MK Reed will give a reading from their most recent work, followed by a discussion of gender issues in comics, moderated by Rob Clough. The event is sponsored by the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture and will be held in Perkins Library 217.
The Gothic Bookshop will be on hand to sell books by the featured authors. Don't miss this event, folks. It's a great opportunity to show how much enthusiasm there is here at Duke for this great art form!

New Releases from Duke Press
Periodically we like to check in with our cousins over at Duke University Press. As many of you already know, DUP is at the forefront of academic publishing, and we're lucky to have them as part of the Duke community. We at the Gothic do our best to keep as many Duke Press books in stock as possible, so if you see something that looks interesting (as you no doubt will), come find it on our shelves.
