The San Antonio Book Festival is presenting a talk on Wednesday with writer, journalist and Texas Monthly Executive Editor Skip Hollandsworth.
Hollandsworth, a celebrated contributor to the magazine since 1989, is in town to introduce his new book She Kills: The Murderous Socialite, the Cross-Dressing Bank Robber, and Other True Crime Tales.
The award-winning writer specializes in long-form true-crime narratives, and She Kills is a sampling of his most popular works over the years. One of his best-known pieces, “Midnight in the Garden of East Texas,” was adapted into the 2012 movie Bernie, which he co-wrote with director Richard Linklater.
Hollandsworth also penned The Midnight Assassin: The Hunt for America’s First Serial Killer, a thrill ride documenting a rash of murders done in the dark of 1880s Austin.
An author signing will follow the presentation.
Free, 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Texas Public Radio, Malú and Carlos Alvarez Theater, 321 W. Commerce St., (210) 750-8951, sabookfestival.org.
