October Book Club: Graphic Novel Month

For October's book club, we will be reading and discussing two graphic novels: Harrow County Vol. 1: Countless Haints by Cullen Bunn and The Nice House on the Lake Vol. 1 by James Tynion IV.

Publisher's description for Harrow County:
Emmy always knew that the woods surrounding her home crawled with ghosts and monsters. But on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, she learns that she is connected to these creatures--and to the land itself--in a way she never imagined.

Collecting the first four issues of the southern gothic fairy tale from the creator of smash hit The Sixth Gun, beautifully and hauntingly realized by B.P.R.D.'s Tyler Crook!

Publisher's description for The Nice House on the Lake:
Everyone who was invited to the house knows Walter—well, they know him a little, anyway. Some met him in childhood; some met him months ago. And Walter’s always been a little…off.

But after the hardest year of their lives, nobody was going to turn down Walter’s invitation to an astonishingly beautiful house in the woods, overlooking an enormous sylvan lake. It’s beautiful, it’s opulent, it’s private—so a week of putting up with Walter’s weird little schemes and nicknames in exchange for the vacation of a lifetime? Why not?

All of them were at that moment in their lives when they could feel themselves pulling away from their other friends; wouldn’t a chance to reconnect be…nice? In The Nice House on the Lake, the overriding anxieties of the 21st century get a terrifying new face—and it might just be the face of the person you once trusted most.

It looks like these are available at the Denver Public Library in various formats, in addition to being available for purchase.

This month, we will meet at the Ratio Beerworks - Overland location. All are welcome to join us, whether you finish the book or not.

Hope to see you there!
