Welcome to the Nightmare on Marsha Ave Book Club! We’re a spooky little group of readers who meet on the last Wednesday of each month at 2 PM (unless otherwise noted). Our haunted hearts explore a wide range of eerie, strange, and thrilling reads from gothic fiction, mystery and sci-fi, to fantasy, psychological thrillers and more. Not every book we read is traditional “horror,” but they all dabble in the weird, the dark, or the delightfully unsettling. We love variety and encourage diversity in our book picks because horror wears many faces (some with very sharp teeth).
A quick heads-up: Some books may contain strong language, disturbing themes, or sensitive subject matter. We recommend doing a little digging before reading to make sure it’s the right fit for you.
Occasionally, we’ll dive into graphic novels and short stories instead of full-length books. You don’t have to read both to join the discussion... Just pick the one that calls to you (or read both if you’re feeling brave).
Materials can often be found through the library system or online. Short stories are usually available for free online, and many graphic novels can be found on Hoopla or through interlibrary loan services. Just ask a librarian... they love creepy stuff too!
So grab your flashlight, your favorite cozy blanket, and maybe a protective charm or two… we can’t wait to read with you...
May 2026: Havoc by Christopher Bollen
Eighty-one-year-old widow Maggie Burkhardt came to the Royal Karnak to escape—but not in the same way as the other guests at the threadbare luxury hotel on the Nile. A compulsive fixer of other people’s problems, Maggie may have stirred up trouble at her last stop in Switzerland and needed a quick exit. Now at the Karnak, she has a comfortable suite, a loyal confidante in the hotel manager, Ahmed, and a circle of sympathetic “long-termers” who understand her grief for her late husband, Peter. One morning, Maggie notices a new arrival: a mournful young mother named Tess and her impish eight year-old, Otto. Eager to help, Maggie draws them into her world—only to discover that she may have let in a force stronger than she imagined. In scrawny, homely Otto, Maggie Burkhardt has finally met her match.
