Horror Book Club (Remote)
December 3, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
FreeThe Books Around the Corner Horror Book Club is led by the owner/librarian, Stephanie Rose, and meets monthly on the fourth Thursday of every month at 6PM. We would like to extend an invitation to all of our horror loving customers (RSVP is not required). PLEASE SEE CHANGE IN DATE FOR DECEMBER DUE TO 4TH THURSDAY IN NOVEMBER BEING THANKSGIVING.
Our book discussions aim to bring people together to talk about books in a safe and inviting atmosphere. Our meetings are lovely and inclusive; we invite you to attend. Come and enjoy a lively discussion about the chosen book with other readers.
Our last pick of 2020 is If It Bleeds by Stephen King and we will meet on December 3rd at 6pm.
About the book:
The novella is a form King has returned to over and over again in the course of his amazing career, and many have been made into iconic films, including “The Body” ( Stand By Me) and “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” ( Shawshank Redemption). Like Four Past Midnight, Different Seasons, and most recently Full Dark, No Stars, If It Bleeds is a uniquely satisfying collection of longer short fiction by an incomparably gifted writer.
Due to the time and effort we put into organizing our book clubs if you choose to purchase the book elsewhere, already own it, check it out from the library, or purchase the ebook/audiobook we ask members to pay a $5 book club fee on our website. Thank you for understanding and supporting us.
