Horror Lit in Capitol Hill

We'll meet up for a couple of hours the last Thursday of each month to socialize and discuss the reading. Meet up at 7; discussion starts at 7:30. Come through even if you're still working on the book. New members are welcome.

Readings:

Fiction, historical fiction, speculative fiction, essays, short stories, and nonfiction are all on the table! See potential readings and add your picks on bookclubs.com.

Here are some titles I've read that are examples of the range/vibe: The Exorcist, The Shining, A Short Stay in Hell, Hellraiser, & The Haunting of Hill House, Parable of the Sower.

The idea is for this to be a relaxed, low-commitment way to socialize, find new favorite horror books, and support local taverns and cafes. There will be some discussion questions to spark conversation, plus lowkey crafting.

Location:

The first meeting will be at The Stumbling Monk. Hopefully we can try a new spot each month. Liberty, The Wash, and Stoup are other spots that could accommodate groups near The Hill. I would love suggestions too.

Crafting:

I'll bring some basic art materials to share. Feel free to doodle, make a bookmark, make a comic, create a zine, etc.! Bring a few art supplies if you want.

About the organizer:

Bri (she/her), horror fan who's looking to read many more books. I also like socializing at local taverns. Last horror movie I watched: The Mothman Prophecies. Next one I want to see: Hokum
