You, the voracious reader, will soon be left to repine most piteously, for a most sorrowful event is pending. Yes! Local author Lemony Snicket's final book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, titled The END, is being released next month.

The final volume to this terrible collection will no doubt fill the reader with terror, pity and sorrow once they learn the final fates of the unlucky Baudelaire orphans. Worse - there will be no subsequent volumes detailing anything like a happy ending!

Should you wish to join other adherents of this grim and melancholy saga in listening to the doleful reading of the no-doubt-depressing book, buy a $16 ticket to the Lemony Snicket event "For Crying Out Loud" at Books Inc..

We are sorry to report the dreadful details of this dreary gathering below:

Saturday October 28th
2:00p.m. Capuchino High School Auditorium
1501 Magnolia Ave.
San Bruno, CA 94066
Admission includes 1 copy of The END

You may see SFist there. We will be the ones clutching a scented handkerchief and weeping piteously.
