The Spooky Book Club of Atlanta

The Spooky Book Club’s November selection is Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle.

Book description: Misha knows that chasing success in Hollywood can be hell.

But finally, after years of trying to make it, his big moment is here: an Oscar nomination. And the executives at the studio for his long-running streaming series know just the thing to kick his career to the next level: kill off the gay characters, "for the algorithm," in the upcoming season finale.

Misha refuses, but he soon realizes that he’s just put a target on his back. And what’s worse, monsters from his horror movie days are stalking him and his friends through the hills above Los Angeles.

Haunted by his past, Misha must risk his entire future―before the horrors from the silver screen find a way to bury him for good.

During the meeting, we will discuss the book and vote for our next book selection. Looking forward to discussing the book and hearing everyone’s thoughts.

Please consider purchasing the book from a local book store.

The Spooky Book Club’s December selection is Christmas and Other Horrors: A winter solstice anthology, edited by Ellen Datlow. For December, we will read and discuss the first half of the anthology (Introduction- “Our recent unpleasantness”)

Book Description: The winter solstice is celebrated as a time of joy around the world—yet the long winter nights also summon a darker tradition of ghouls, ghost tales, and horror. This anthology of all-new stories invites you to huddle around the fire and revel in the unholy, the dangerous, the horrific aspects of a time when families and friends come together—for better and for worse.

We will also celebrate the holidays together with a book exchange! If you would like to participate in the 3rd Annual Book Exchange, please bring a wrapped, used book that you would like to gift to another member in a white elephant gift exchange.
