10/25: Horror Book Club

Join us at Booksweet for our new Horror Book Club! Get ready to dive into chilling thrillers, discuss your favorite spooky stories old and new, and connect with fellow horror lovers. Whether you're a seasoned horror reader or just starting to explore the genre, this club is the perfect place to celebrate the macabre.

For our inaugural book club, we'll discuss What Moves The Dead by T. Kingfisher. As it's a shorter read and we want to celebrate the season, we'll meet on Friday, October 25 from 7-8pm.

Your Eventbrite RSVP is so helpful to our planning.

About the book //

A gripping and atmospheric reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” from Hugo, Locus, & Nebula award-winning author T. Kingfisher
*A very special hardcover edition, featuring foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.*
When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruritania.
What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves.
Aided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.

So... what's this book club like? //

This is our very first horror book club! We hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don't mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts. We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts!

After a good discussion, the group votes on the next session's read. Feel free to pitch a horror or thriller you've enjoyed recently or want to read with the group.

While we will have water and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options), Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops, filled with AMAZING dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don't feel shy about sipping boba while we chat!

Hope to see you there!
