Get Fictional's FIRST book club is celebrating SUMMERWEEN! For the month of August (through September 5th), we will be reading Monumental by indie author Adam Nevill!! Summer camping. Folklore. Cults. Lovecraftian vibes. It has been said this is Nevill's scariest book yet... 

You don't have to purchase the book from me, of course, but if you do, you will receive a custom 4oz candle to pair. 

{If you'd like to order your own copy online, may I recommend bookshop.org? Order online here to support your indie bookstores! If you prefer audiobooks, take a look here!}

If you like, join the Facebook Group!! I had a lot of interest from folks who would like to participate virtually, and I believe this will be a great way to discuss the books! 

I will still have dates for meet-ups! Totally optional, but I think it would be so much fun to bring spooky bookish people together here in Conroe!! (I will be posting finalized plans for the meet up in our FB group.)

Thank you SO much for your interest! If I'm missing anything, or if you have any ideas, let me know!!! 

Monumental by Adam Nevill:

A story of life and death in the wilderness, and a horrifying tale of extreme survival against supernatural powers, from the four times winner of the August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel.

Disaster strikes quickly and without warning. What should have been a glorious weekend of kayaking and camping, in a secluded beauty spot, is transformed by a scream. The first crisis, initiating a deadly momentum that accelerates as the valley reveals itself to Marcus and his five companions.

They're trespassing on strictly private land. There's only one way out. An escape route closed until the next high tide fills the estuary. In twelve hours' time.

Recreation becomes survival.

Marooned, unable to summon help, harassed by dire and worsening circumstances, the ties that bind the expedition are stretched taut. If they snap, vital cooperation will unravel and the group members' damning secrets will be revealed.
Only the most courageous and committed have any chance against the area's inhabitants. But is any mind strong enough to endure a confrontation with the most hideous revelation of all? An ancient evil that coils beneath the valley's sinister folklore.
