Tea & Terror

Join library staff for an afternoon of hot tea and terror in this exciting, horror-themed, bi-monthly book discussion. Horror is much more than ghost stories or bloody murders—it can be scary but also funny, sad, powerful, or moving. There's a whole universe of terror out there, waiting to be discovered by adventurous readers. Expect a variety of horror styles and subgenres—from the ghastly and gory to the spooky and sublime, from the horrors of the natural world to the supernatural terrors beyond!
