Queer Book Club: Horror Edition

Spooky season has entered the book club. 🕯️

This October, we’re reading T. Kingfisher’s What Moves the Dead — a gothic horror reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher.

Expect a crumbling manor, strange fungi, unsettling wildlife, body horror and the creeping suspicion that something is very, very wrong. 🍄💀

Come along for an afternoon of books, horror and queer community at Villa Vida Café. Whether you’re a horror devotee or just dipping your toes into the genre, you’re welcome to join the discussion.
