The Wittliff Collections host artist receptions, book signings, readings, and much more. You can meet the authors and photographers. The most recent event -- called East Texas in Story and Song -- featured Wes Ferguson, who wrote Running the River: Secrets of the Sabine.
Joe Lansdale, author of nearly 50 novels himself, attended the event. Lansdale is no stranger to the Wittliff. He has been donating his work to the collection since 1992.

Lansdale's latest book, The Thicket, is now available in the Wittliff Collections. At the reception last week, Lansdale's daughter, Kasey, performed a song from her new album, Restless, and also answered questions.
