About this Event
2/14: Ann Arborville Horror Book Club
Join us at Booksweet for our third Horror Book Club! Get ready to dive into chilling thrillers, discuss your favorite creepy stories old and new, and connect with fellow horror lovers. Whether you're a seasoned horror reader or just starting to explore the genre, this club is the perfect place to celebrate the macabre.
For this gathering, we'll discuss We Used To Live Here by Marcus Kliewer. We just couldn't pass up the chance to celebrate horror on another Friday holiday; we'll meet on Friday, February 14 from 7-8pm.
Your Eventbrite RSVP is super helpful to our planning!
About the book //
From an author “destined to become a titan of the macabre and unsettling” (Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author), a haunting debut—soon to be a Netflix original movie—about two homeowners whose lives are turned upside down when the house’s previous residents unexpectedly visit.
As a young, queer couple who flip houses, Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they’ve just gotten on an old house in a picturesque neighborhood. As they’re working in the house one day, there’s a knock on the door. A man stands there with his family, claiming to have lived there years before and asking if it would be alright if he showed his kids around. People pleaser to a fault, Eve lets them in.
As soon as the strangers enter their home, inexplicable things start happening, including the family’s youngest child going missing and a ghostly presence materializing in the basement. Even more weird, the family can’t seem to take the hint that their visit should be over. And when Charlie suddenly vanishes, Eve slowly loses her grip on reality. Something is terribly wrong with the house and with the visiting family—or is Eve just imagining things?
This unputdownable and spine-tingling novel “is like quicksand: the further you delve into its pages, the more immobilized you become by a spiral of terror. We Used to Live Here will haunt you even after you have finished it” (Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender Is the Flesh).
So... what's this book club like? //
This is our third horror book club! We hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don't mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts. We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts!
After a good discussion, the group votes on the next session's read. Feel free to pitch a horror or thriller you've enjoyed recently or want to read with the group.
While we will have water and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options), Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops, filled with AMAZING dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don't feel shy about sipping boba while we chat!
Hope to see you there!
