I wonder if Bookwyrm or book clubs are for me.

I don't want to track what I read. It's deeply personal. And just because I read something doesn't mean I liked something. I want reading to remain that cozy shelter I go to whenever I want, to feel whatever I want, alone.

But I also read my favorite books after asking recommendations and talking about what I like. Nothing as broad as a genre. I talked about what I wanted to feel. What I liked in other books.

Last year, the book club read & loved Lindsay King-Miller's zombie novel "The Z Word" which is what possessed us jump on this new work of queer exorcism horror. Gretchen Felker-Martin, author of "Manhunt" calls it "a brutal, brilliant story of motherhood, memory, and religion, deviously simple and terribly clever. King-Miller has become one of my must-read authors."

Each meeting of this book club is structured to encourage deep engagement with the themes of the text, as well as facilitate connection among the participants. If you are looking to meet other queer people and/or horror lovers this is the book club for you! This month, we will also be welcoming Lindsay King-Miller for a virtual Q&A for the second half of the book club discussion! So bring all of your questions, your musings, and your religious trauma 🙏
