Dale's comment: This book is classified as "horror," but I disagree. Rather, it is a psychological thriller where the author uses the device of unreliable storytelling and narration, leaving it to the reader to decipher what is "real" and what is not. This, we will discuss!

"There is something odd going on in the boarded-up house at the end of Needless Street. Its inhabitants include a man who drinks a lot, an angry teenage girl who isn't allowed out, and a religious cat. When a new neighbor moves in next door, it seems all their secrets will finally come to light.

Talk about a riveting story. It took me a few chapters to get into the rhythm of this, but once I did, I could not put it down. There is this chilling and discordant atmosphere that permeates the pages and kept me coming back for more. When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it, mulling over what was real and what wasn't, and trying to puzzle it all out."

As always, a light dinner will be served. Feel free to bring appetizers, snacks, salad, dessert - no obligation but fun to share.
