Come See My First (EVER) Public Reading at StokerCon

Great news!

I am excited to announce that I will be giving my first EVER public reading of my works at StokerCon 2023 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in early June.

Come by the Convention on Saturday, June 17, at 3 p.m. if you’d like to hear me read some old poems and some new stuff I’m working on.

I will be on a panel with former Stoker finalists (nominees) and winners. I am truly honored to be in such company for our reading! My fellow readers/panelists will be: Elizabeth Massie (2x Stoker winner), Scott Edelman (5x Stoker finalist), and James Chambers (1x Stoker winner).

Here are details on where to register (in person or online for $55) for StokerCon and a full schedule for the conference.

If you’re a Horror fan or writer in the Pittsburgh area, I would love to see you there!

Folks, it’s been a long, long road and I am so excited that I will finally get an opportunity to read my words out loud for a public audience. I plan to read my narrative poem “The King Becomes a Star” and some new, unreleased stuff.

Please spread the word! I will be doing my best to Tweet and post to Instagram during the convention using my @DariusJonesWrit handles. Please BOOST there, if you can.

Thanks and see you there!

In honor of my reading at StokerCon I have created an “Appearances” Landing Page where you can check out all my past and upcoming events and request an appearance from “this author” as they say in Bridgerton.

Look for more coverage of StokerCon on my blog at the end of June. See you then!
