About this Event

Let the Right Book In book club features all things horror. This month we are reading Come Closer by Sara Gran!
Join us in store on Friday, January 24th at 7:00pm central in store!
About Come Closer:
A recurrent, unidentifiable noise in her apartment. A memo to her boss that's replaced by obscene insults. Amanda--a successful architect in a happy marriage--finds her life going off kilter by degrees. She starts smoking again, and one night for no reason, without even the knowledge that she's doing it, she burns her husband with a cigarette. At night she dreams of a beautiful woman with pointed teeth on the shore of a blood-red sea.


The new voice in Amanda's head, the one that tells her to steal things and talk to strange men in bars, is strange and frightening, and Amanda struggles to wrest back control of her life. A book on demon possession suggests that the figure on the shore could be the demon Naamah, known to scholars of the Kabbalah as the second wife of Adam, who stole into his dreams and tricked him into fathering her child. Whatever the case, as the violence of her erratic behavior increases, Amanda knows that she must act to put her life right, or see it destroyed.
About the book club:
We will meet in store to chat about the book. We have copies of Come Closer available in store or online and we ship nationally.
There is no obligation to purchase the book through us. Bring your own copy or get one from your local library!
