About
Do you love strange, creepy and straight-up scary books? Then join our online horror book club led by librarians at Chicago Public Library across the city. This month, we will be reading Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves.
"A novelistic mosaic that simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious." -- The New York Times
Neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of the impossibility of their new home, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story—of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams. - from the publisher
Please note, this is an online event that takes place on Zoom. Attendees will receive a Zoom link 24 hours before the program. We encourage you to attend even if you don't finish the book! It's the journey, not the destination.
