Prairie Lights

Haints Stay author Colin Winnette will read from his new novel, Users.  Jeff Vandermeer called it “A surreal puzzle box and page-turner from which the reader may never recover…,” while Andrew Sean Greer said, “Users is the best kind of book: both thrillingly old-fashioned, and utterly, daringly timely… Haunting, clever, witty, terrifying, moving; reader, I loved it.”

Colin Winnette’s books include Coyote, Haints Stay, and The Job of the Wasp, which was an American Booksellers Association’s Indie Next Pick. Winnette’s writing has appeared in numerous publications, including Playboy, McSweeney’s, The Believer, and The Paris Review Daily. A former bookseller in Texas, Vermont, New York, and California, he is now a writer living in San Francisco.
