Credit: Courtesy Photo \/ Lindy Ryan<\/p>\n<p>Award-winning author, professor and short-film director Lindy Ryan will present excerpts from her latest blood-soaked opus, Dollface, this Thursday at San Antonio\u2019s Nowhere Bookshop. <\/p>\n<p>Declared a \u201cchampion for women\u2019s voices in horror\u201d by Shelf Awareness, Ryan is currently an author-in-residence residence at Rue Morgue magazine. She also sits on the Board of Directors for the Brothers Grimm Society of North America and served on the Board of Directors for the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA). <\/p>\n<p>Dollface is described as a page-turner whose appeal increases with the cumulative body count. The story is narrated by Jill, a horror writer who recently relocated to suburban Jersey. Instead of charming her way into the good graces of the PTA, our heroine finds herself entangled in a serial murder case that seems to be closing in on her as the \u201clast girl standing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>As per usual, there will be copies of Dollface around for the author to sign. <\/p>\n<p>Free, 6-7 p.m. Thursday, March 12, Nowhere Bookshop, 5154 Broadway, (210) 640-7260,
