Postmortem: Exploring the Impact of the John Wayne Gacy Murders with True Crime Author Courtney Lund O'Neil

Thursday, January 9, 2025 from 7 PM to 8 PM
Coronado Public Library
All Ages
Free

Join the Coronado Public Library and Warwick's Bookstore for an unforgettable evening with author Courtney Lund O'Neil, in conversation with Jacqueline Alnes, as she shares her gripping true crime memoir Postmortem.

In the vein of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, this compelling work revisits the chilling crimes of "Killer Clown" John Wayne Gacy, offering a unique perspective on the emotional aftershocks that his violence left behind. Praised as as “harrowing” and “unforgettable” in a starred review from Publishers Weekly, O'Neil’s skill in blending her mother’s memories with her own reflections, offers “profound new insights into an oft-told American horror story.”

With thought-provoking layers of personal reflection, community impact, and the broader American psyche, Postmortem offers an intimate view of how one family's grief rippled outward, forever affecting their lives and countless others. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the author share her poignant story and insights.

Free open seating is first-come, first-served, subject to available space. Guaranteed Preferred Seating is available with pre-order of Postmortem through Warwick's
