A poster for the Toronto launch of tours, variously by Drew McEwan at Another Story Bookshop. The background is the dark outline of a corner of the room. The text reads: "Another Story Bookshop and Talonbooks present tours, variously by Drew McEwan with guest reader A. Light Zachary." Next is the RSVP link. Then Friday, November 28, 7 pm. In store, 315 Roncesvalles Ave. Below this are author photos for A. Light Zachary in a small circle and Drew McEwan in a larger circle. This overlaps slightly with the cover of tours, variously (a painted navy corner of the room with interplay of light and shadows).

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa. 

The right side says: β€œAs the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them.
These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”
