SUMMARY:Alma Katsu: Incarnate
DESCRIPTION:Join us for another thrilling evening with author Alma Katsu at C. Burr Artz Public Library on Wednesday\, October 14 from 6:00-7:00 pm. Drawing on her background as a former tech futurist for the intelligence community\, Alma will be presenting about her latest fiction novel\, Incarnate to discuss the dangers of technology\, deep fakes\, and the wide-spread impact of social media on our society today. Following her presentation\, Alma will answer questions and sign books. Copies of Incarnate will be available for purchase at the event.  \nLocation: C. Burr Artz Public Library\, 110 E. Patrick Street\, Frederick\, MD 21701 \nThis event is free and open to the public. We are proud to partner with Frederick County Public Libraries for this event. \nFor accessibility requests\, email events@curiousiguana.com at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. \nAbout the book: From beloved horror maven Alma Katsu comes a terrifying reimagining of The Picture of Dorian Gray for the internet age. \nBeauty doesn’t fade. It feeds. \nDorothy Wagner has spent her whole life wanting nothing more than to be seen. But after failing to make her mark as an influencer\, she takes a job working for a brilliant coder whose company is focused on cutting-edge deepfake technology. And there\, in secret\, is where she creates her salvation. \nIsabella. An impossibly gorgeous girl who takes social media by storm. Dorothy’s artistry is brilliant\, and Isabella seems so real that she garners millions of followers. But everybody knows overnight success doesn’t just happen. And when someone gets a little too close to the truth\, a violent confrontation sends Dorothy on the run\, forcing her to confront what she’s willing to sacrifice to keep her secrets. \nA modern reimagining of a classic tale\, Alma Katsu’s Incarnate is an illuminating\, haunting tale of algorithmic worship and beauty that can kill. \nAbout the author: Alma Katsu is the award-winning author of ten novels\, the most recent of which is Incarnate. She is best known for The Hunger\, a reimagining of the story of the Donner Party\, which was named by NPR as one of the 100 most loved horror stories and won the Western Heritage Award for best novel.

She also writes spy thrillers\, drawing on her career in intelligence\, including Red Widow (nominated for the Thriller Writers award for best novel)\, and The Invisible Enemy\, coming spring 2027.
