Ghouls, Goblins, and Aliens: SFFH Reading Group

Welcome to Ghouls, Goblins and Aliens, our Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror reading group. Your hosts, May and Roxane, will guide you through what’s great, what’s new, and what’s completely underrated, every month until the end of the world (mwhahah, etc. etc).

January's choice will be a readers choice title, decided by the current members of the group. Our group has spoken, and this month's title is... Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab! A bookseller and buyer favourite, V. E. Schwab is the internationally bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, as well as a plethora of other titles. Bury Our Bones... is a twisting, gothic tale of blood, power, and the terrifying price of freedom.

A STORY ABOUT IMMORTALITY, HUNGER AND REVENGE.

Three women, centuries apart. One secret desire binds them all: to be more than a pawn in a game played by men. 1532. Santo Domingo: Maria is wild and wily, and knows her beauty is her only currency. When an alluring stranger offers an alternate path - a chance to choose her own fate - Maria makes a desperate vow: no regrets. 1827. London: Charlotte lives a cloistered life, her heart full of impossible wishes. Swept away by a beautiful widow's invitation, she discovers the price of freedom is higher than she could have ever imagined. 2019. Boston: Alice moved halfway across the world to escape her past. But a one-night stand leads to chilling consequences. So Alice throws herself into a hunt for answers and revenge that links her to a hunger centuries old.

This is a story about life . . . how it ends, and how it starts again.
