Artists Book House Evanston Bound Quarantour with graphic novelist Emil Ferris
Ms. Ferris grew up in pre-Urban Renewal Chicago at a time when Chicago was a down-at-the-heels, blue-collar palace where the silent picture stars of Essanay Studios still hobbled the streets of Uptown. Ferris gets a good portion of whatever strength or inspiration she has from the beauty and tenacity of this amazing city.
It was not possible for Ferris to grow up in Madmen-era Chicago and not believe in monsters. Growing up in an ornately grimy Gotham combined seamlessly with Ms. Ferris’s childhood addiction to “Creature Features,” a late-night Saturday airing of famous (and often offbeat) black and white B-movies of the monster genre. No doubt these two influences have had a big hairy-clawed hand in making her a lifelong fan of creaturely and undead beings everywhere.
Quarantours are appropriate for curious humans, ages 9-99!
