The Book Eaters August Book Club Author Event

Chat with the author of The Book Eaters and dive into some great book talk over drinks and good vibes.

Join us in August for the Book Club Society of the Strange, where weird tales and wild minds meet in person!

Our August book club pick is The Book Eaters !

The last of their lines, they exist on the fringes of society and subsist on a diet of stories and legends.

Children are rare and their numbers have dwindled, so when Devon Fairweather’s second child is born a dreaded Mind Eater – a perversion of her own kind, who consumes not stories but the minds and souls of humans – she flees before he can be turned into a weapon for the family… or worse.

Living among humans and finding prey for her son, Devon seeks a cure for his hunger. But time is running out – for her family want her back, and with every soul her son consumes he loses a little more of himself…

This is a story of escape, a mother’s savage devotion and a queer love that will electrify readers looking for something beguiling, thrilling, strange and new.

The author, Sunyi Dean, will be attending the event. She will be having a lovely chat with us about her book. There will also be spoilers, so come prepared with plenty of questions!

Join us to chat about the book, share your thoughts, and meet other readers in a relaxed and friendly setting.

Accessibility
Please note that the room we will be using is located high up in the building and is only accessible via several flights of stairs. Unfortunately there is no step-free access due to the age of the building. The space itself is a private and quiet room, so it will be easy to hear and take part in the discussion once upstairs.
