Come to the Learning Annex and meet Neil Gaiman.
Award-winning fantasy writer Nalo Hopkinson will be our special host for an exciting evening, including a reading from Neil's new novel, Anansi Boys, a live interview with Space's Mark Askwith, a Q&A with Neil, a limited 3-hour book-signing, and some fantastic giveaways courtesy of our partners. The evening will also feature a special video presentation of TV clips of Neil from over the years discussing his work, as well as an extended trailer and excerpts from his new movie, with Dave McKean, Mirrormask, both courtesy of Space: The Imagination Station.

About the evening:
Doors will open at 6:00. Please, do not arrive earlier than 5:30pm. Bloor St. United has activities that day and we do not wish to disturb them.

Please book in advance, signing is limited to 300. 450 non-signing seats are also available; please be clear which seat you are ordering. Signing tickets will be given a wristband however all seating is by general admission. We appreciate your understanding.
