About this Event
Classics can be intimidating. They have a reputation of being too highbrow and incomprehensible for us mere mortals. We at Books on the Hill, however, think that is just not true. Classics speak of a universal theme we all have first hand experience of: love, loss, frienship, hope. They are for all of us. To tackle this, we are starting a new Book Club focusing on "The Classics" from recent and not so recent history and what classics could be more appropriate for this spooky season than Dracula by Bram Stoker.
This Book Club will be held on the last Thursday of the month, and is suitable for ages 16+. Tea and coffee will be provided, as well as glasses should you chose to bring your own tipple.
About the book -
A chilling masterpiece of the horror genre, Dracula also illuminated dark corners of Victorian sexuality. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to advise Count Dracula on a London home, he makes a horrifying discovery. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the arrival of his 'Master', while a determined group of adversaries prepares to face the terrifying Count.
