Join us when author Clay McLeod Chapman visits to discuss his latest novel, Devil Inside.

About the author:

Clay McLeod Chapman is the Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of popular horror novels Ghost Eaters, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes, Whisper Down the Lane, What Kind of Mother, and more. Jordan Peele calls him “one of [his] favorite horror storytellers working today.” He has written books, comic books, YA and middlegrade books, as well as for film and television. 

In Devil Inside, after a traumatic accident that almost cost Jordan his life, he’s finally starting to feel normal again. Well, maybe not normal. Everything tastes like ash, and when he looks at the people around him, their faces start to melt. At least he’s not dead, right? His friends are doing their best to get him back on his feet, maybe find someone to talk to, perhaps even find someone to take his mind off his last failed relationship.

Then he meets Lilith. The two share an instant connection but after a wild and passionate night together, she ghosts him. Jordan searches the city for Lilith, desperate to see her again. But when a woman claiming to be Lilith shows up, wearing a different face but knowing intimate details about Jordan, he worries he’s losing his grip on reality. As he grows closer to this mysterious woman, he discovers that happily ever afters sometimes come at a cost. How far will Lilith take him, and how much darkness will he embrace to find love?

Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Mac's Backs - Books on Coventry.

About the branch

CCPL’s popular toy collection got its start as a special collection located in the Brooklyn Branch. The collection was housed exclusively at the Brooklyn Branch from 1992 until 2007, when access was expanded throughout the county. Today, anyone with a CCPL library card can request toys from the collection and have them delivered to the CCPL branch of their choice for pick-up.

This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
