Mile High Horrors- Denver Horror Fans

For August's book club, we will be reading and discussing Road of Bones by Christopher Golden.

Publisher's description:
Surrounded by barren trees in a snow-covered wilderness with a dim, dusky sky forever overhead, Siberia’s Kolyma Highway is 1200 miles of gravel packed permafrost within driving distance of the Arctic Circle. A narrow path where drivers face such challenging conditions as icy surfaces, limited visibility, and an average temperature of sixty degrees below zero, fatal car accidents are common.

But motorists are not the only victims of the highway. Known as the Road of Bones, it is a massive graveyard for the former Soviet Union’s gulag prisoners. Hundreds of thousands of people worked to death and left where their bodies fell, consumed by the frozen elements and plowed beneath the permafrost road.

Fascinated by the history, documentary producer Felix “Teig” Teigland is in Russia to drive the highway, envisioning a new series capturing Life and Death on the Road of Bones with a ride to the town of Akhust, “the coldest place on Earth”, collecting ghost stories and local legends along the way. Only, when Teig and his team reach their destination, they find an abandoned town, save one catatonic nine-year-old girl―and a pack of predatory wolves, faster and smarter than any wild animals should be.

Pursued by the otherworldly beasts, Teig’s companions confront even more uncanny and inexplicable phenomena along the Road of Bones, as if the ghosts of Stalin’s victims were haunting them. It is a harrowing journey that will push Teig beyond endurance and force him to confront the sins of his past.

It looks like this is available at the Denver Public Library, in addition to being available for purchase.

We will meet at the BrewDog this month. All are welcome to join us, whether you finish the book or not.

Hope to see you there!

Greetings, horror fans! Let's get online and watch movies together! We'll have a voice chat set up in the MHH Discord server, and the host (myself or someone else) will share their screen and stream something scary for our viewing pleasure.

For now, we'll keep it casual and create a list of titles as a group for me to choose from. We can watch a movie, a few episodes of a series, or maybe there's something else you think we should see.

The feature presentation will start at 7pm, but I'll be on at 6:30pm for pre-movie chat and cocktails. We'll meet in the "MHH Theater 1" voice channel under "Thursday Movie Nights."

--DISCORD??--

If you don't already have a Discord account, you can get one here: https://discord.com/. It's free!

The event link is an invite link to our server. It should not expire. If you have any problems with getting Discord to work, send me a message and I'll see what I can do.

We have text chat channels and voice chat channels set up. Voice channels allow participants to share their screens or use video chat. I've had fun movie and game nights with my friends and family on Discord, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with all of you again. :D
