The BOO*-k Club

When: Friday, July 26, at 5 PM
Where: Dog-Eared Books Loft

Bailey and Mariah invite you to join them for BOO*-k Club (*Bloodcurdling, Ominous, and Otherworldly) each month. As avid horror readers, they cannot wait to explore some of the genre’s most interesting offerings by focusing on short story collections and novellas. Come get creeped out with us!

This month’s book is Apparitions by Adam Pottle

After years of imprisonment, a nameless Deaf teen escapes his father’s basement. Bloody, alone, and without language, he stumbles through the Saskatchewan prairie until he lands in an isolated psychiatric facility, where he meets Felix, another Deaf teen who eagerly teaches him Sign Language. As the two grow closer, they struggle with the facility’s staff and their own horrifying memories, driving the ambitious and cunning Felix to formulate a plan of escape, a plan that quickly becomes dangerous for both of them.

Purchase a copy to read, or grab it from the library, and join us July 26th for a thoughtful and entertaining discussion about Apparitions by Adam Pottle. This book club is free to anyone who wishes to participate. No registration necessary.
