About us
There’s a new book club in the town and it’s lit!
You’re very familiar with the dread of impending end of the book you’re immersed in? Know the exhaustion of the day after staying up all night just to get through that next chapter? You’re unabashedly proud of your tsundoku tendencies? And above all - can’t stop thinking about what you just read and absolutely need to talk about it all with the fellow sufferers?
Then join “It’s lit!”, the newest book club in Antwerp, where we’ll choose (the hardest part!), read and discuss all from literary classics, debate stirring books and the hottest picks of the moment, hoping to avoid that horror of readgret!
We’ll try to have some structure to our discussions in order to keep everybody engaged and to make even the newest of newbies feel at ease.
All welcome, but please leave any sort of bigotry between your own four walls.

Spooctacle: let’s choose the book!
Lit., Scheldestraat 79, Antwerp, BEOctober calls for something a little darker, a little stranger, and preferably with just enough psychological unease.
For next month to discuss, we have three different shades of scary to choose from:a) “Something Wicked This Way Comes” by Ray Bradbury — a dark, lyrical tale of carnivals , childhood fears, and the unsettling price of getting what you wish for.
b) “The Eyes Are the Best Part” by Monika Kim — a disturbing psychological horror novel that gets under your skin and challenges just how much darkness can hide behind an ordinary face.
c) “Silent Companions” by Laura Purcell — a gothic mystery full of eerie old houses, unsettling secrets, and the creeping suspicion that some things are better left unexplained .
Three books, three flavours of dread: literary and atmospheric, psychologically unsettling, or deliciously gothic. Something for every taste, including the questionable ones.
