The Nightmare Factory Book Club discusses the horror novel The Child Thief at BookPeople in Austin.
Nightmare Factory Book Club meets at BookPeople on Tuesday, August 18, to discuss The Child Thief. It's a horror-themed book club, so the focus stays on the darker side of the shelf. If you've been looking for a group that leans into the eerie rather than steering away from it, this is that spot.
The club describes itself as a way to "navigate the bloody byways and diabolic depths of your fears" through its "horrific book club" format. The whole thing is run by the venue's self-styled "crypt-keepers," who keep the conversation centered on the genre's more unsettling corners. This month's pick is The Child Thief, and the discussion will revolve around it.
