SLAYER: '33 1/3: Reign in Blood' Book Author Schedules Ohio Signing, Reading

September 11, 2008

D.X. Ferris, author of "33 1/3: Reign in Blood", the first English-language book about SLAYER, will appear at the Akron/Fairlawn, Ohio Borders Books & Music (3737 W. Market St., Fairlawn, Ohio) this Saturday, September 13. Ferris will read from the book, sign copies, answer questions, and give away free bonus material. The event is free, and runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ferris is scheduled to appear at 3.

"This is special for me," says Ferris, a reporter for Cleveland Scene. "When I moved to Ohio, I had just read Chuck Klosterman's first book, and he had just left Akron to work at Spin. I wondered if I'd ever write one. And once I was there, I couldn't get arrested for the longest time. I couldn't find steady work doing anything. After a few months, my wife was pregnant, I was still pretty much unemployed, and I got a job at this Borders. And at the time, it felt as good as the book deal did later."

Continuum Books' "33 1/3: Reign in Blood" explores the creation of the most universally respected metal album, its long road to stores, its ongoing influence, and the history of the greatest thrash band.

Ferris conducted dozens of interviews specifically for the book, talking to all members of SLAYER, producer Rick Rubin, engineer Andy Wallace, cover artist Larry Carroll, and Def Jam insiders from Russell Simmons to MC Serch. From Tori Amos to PANTERA's Phil Anselmo, a host of fans and artists discuss the record's ongoing impact and SLAYER's status in the small fraternity of rock's greatest groups.
