Missed a Queer & Weird Book Club that you really wanted to go to? Or just want to keep talking about a favorite book you've already discussed? Come on down to Auntie's the 2nd Wednesday of every month to join the new Queer & Weird Rerun Book Club where we'll be continuing the discussion of books from the original Queer & Weird Book Club!
Queer and Weird is a chill, low-pressure meet-up where we talk about some of the gayest and strangest books we can find. No sign-up necessary, drop by any time you're interested in one of our reads. Show up late or bounce early, no biggie. Snacks, drinks, and stim stuff welcome.
October Selection
In October we will be discussing Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.
"To this hour the image of Carmilla returns to my memory with ambiguous alternations--sometimes the playful, languid, beautiful girl; sometimes the writhing fiend I saw in the ruined church. Sometimes, I start from a reverie, certain I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing-room door."
Isolated in a remote mansion in a central European forest, Laura longs for companionship--until a carriage accident brings another young woman into her life: the secretive and sometimes erratic Carmilla. As Carmilla's actions become more puzzling and volatile, Laura develops bizarre symptoms, and as her health goes into decline, Laura and her father discover something monstrous.
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's compelling tale of a young woman's seduction by a female vampire was a source of influence for Bram Stoker's Dracula, which it predates by over a quarter century. Carmilla was originally serialized from 1871 to 1872 and went on to inspire adaptations in film, opera, and beyond, including the cult classic web series by the same name.
