This August, we’re meeting in person in Lamplighter's back taproom to discuss The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix. This campy, supernatural thriller is set in the American South in the ’90s, and tells the story of a women’s book club that must protect its suburban community from a mysterious and handsome stranger who turns out to be a blood-sucking fiend. In other words, we’ve chosen a beach read.
Register here.
A limited number of copies of the book are available at the Main Library Q&A Desk. The e-book and digitial audiobook are available through Hoopla or the Hoopla app using a Minuteman Network library card. Or, you can stop by Lamplighter OR All She Wrote Books to purchase your own paperback copy.
