Before I dive into my notes about the meeting I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who showed up for this month’s meeting. Had several new faces among what I’ve come to think of as a true gathering of horror pals.
Diving right in. The Troop by N. Cutter really had folks divided! It was like:
But seriously, I need to be better about trigger warnings because great googly moogly was there some animal cruelty in that one!
Seems that the Summer People by Shirley Jackson was very well liked. Requests for more of this type of story duly noted!
The Keeper by Tananarive Due was only read by a handful of folks [totally fine but just not much feedback to go on] with mixed reactions.
In no particular order [and I’m sure I’m missing things so feel free let me know what I’m missing] here are some of the titles of thing/thangs we broadly discussed in the ‘after books chat.’
