'The Devil in the White City' by Erik Larson and the monstrous HH Holmes
Details
Hi Laughers! We finally decided on a book. While I want to jump right into the weirdest, wackiest and spookiest topics possible with this book club, we decided to ease gently in to the LPOTL spirit with a fairly classic book to kick us off.
So, at our first meeting, we are going to be chatting about 'The Devil in the White City' by Erik Larson. Used as the bulk of the inspiration for the HH Holmes series the boys did back in 2015, 'The Devil in the White City' is also just a super fascinating book and according to Marcus, 'a must read for any fan of true crime'. It has missed me over the years, so we are going to use this as the basis of our first meetup.
We are excited to see you all at Onderdonk & Sons (one of our fave bars in the five boroughs) where we will have a drink or two, get to know each other a bit and engage in a LPOTL level deep dive on the reading. Looking forward to your thoughts, impressions, questions, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions about the event and we are really looking to meeting y'all. Hail Yourselves!!!!
