September book:
Let’s do this! It’s time to get the horror/thriller season started! First off, thank you to all of those that made it to the last meetup. A great turnout with great food and great friends! And now, it’s time for the best season of all…Fall!
For next month, we’re going to add a special thrilling adventure. In addition to reading this month’s book, we’re going tell each other a creepy scary story they liked from the NoSleep Podcast (all are welcome to participate).
What you do?
Pick any episode and season and just listen. They usually have 3-5 stories per episode. Pick the one you like most and tell us about one of those stories. There’s over 20 seasons with over 25 episodes per season. So there’s a lot of content to listen to.
You do not have to participate but, it’ll be a fun addition to our meetup.
Where to find the podcast?
Anywhere! Wherever they store podcasts.
**Where are we meeting? **
I don’t know yet. Depends on the weather. Hopefully the park.
What to bring?
Yourself. A scary story from the NoSleep Podcast. And bring some snacks and something pumpkin related. It’s the season of the pumpkin!
And now, the book!

“This book isthe monster that lives inside your closet.”—Grady Hendrix, New York Timesbestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House
To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There’s Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: “Can I go inside your heart?”
When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay.
Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel.
But Other Mommy needs an answer.
