Season’s Screenings: Lion’s Tooth to Host Release Party for TV Grime, an A to Z guide to Halloween-themed television episodes
Lion’s Tooth, Bayview’s own bastion of independent literary culture, presents the TV Grime Release Party, to be held in-store (2421 S Kinnickinnic Ave.) from 5PM to 8PM on Saturday, October 15th.
The event celebrates the public debut of TV Grime, a 100+ page compendium of author Luke Geddes's reviews of and personal reflections on every Halloween-themed television episode he has ever seen (along with bonus content, including comics cartoonists Beth Heinly, John Sammis, and Andy Weiland). Entertainment will be provided in the form of vintage television footage and a buffet of "least favorite Halloween candy” will be served. The event is free and open to all.
Luke Geddes is a local writer who has earned international acclaim for both his Simon & Schuster-published novel Heart of Junk (named one of NPR's Best Books of 2020) and his self-published Chick Tract-style zine about The Velvet Underground's Doug Yule. His latest project, TV Grime, is a deeply personal and yet broadly practical treat, centered on TV Guide-style listings of Halloween-themed programming from throughout the medium's long history. It is sure to be an essential aid in planning readers' spooky-time viewing in years to come.
Lion’s Tooth, founded by Shelly McClone-Carriere and Cris Siqueira in 2020, is a cafe bookstore specializing in comics, graphic novels, and independent literature. Prior to opening a brick-and-mortar location in the heart of Milwaukee’s Bayview neighborhood, Lion’s Tooth began a subscription program featuring includes new releases and work by featured artists that still runs to this day.
“Luke Geddes is a genius.”
- Kevin Wilson, best-selling author of Nothing to See Here and The Family Fang, writing in response to TV Grime Preview Edition, released earlier this year
