Extra event for spooky season:
Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle
We'll meet to discuss the book at 12pm at Common Roots in Albany (free street parking or pay for the lot) on Saturday, October 31. Feel free to come in costume if you'd like!
I didn't put this in for the Stuyvesant Book House discount, but since it is old it should be readily and cheaply available.
Merricat Blackwood lives on the family estate with her sister Constance and her uncle Julian. Not long ago there were seven Blackwoods—until a fatal dose of arsenic found its way into the sugar bowl one terrible night. Acquitted of the murders, Constance has returned home, where Merricat protects her from the curiousity and hostility of the villagers. Their days pass in happy isolation until cousin Charles appears. Only Merricat can see the danger, and she must act swiftly to keep Constance from his grasp.
Future meetings will generally be on the second Thursday of the month. Drop book suggestions here: https://forms.gle/pEQ8rBtNUnLM58ov8
