What Does Adult Monster Book Club Entail?

Would you like to belong to a community of monster fans? Would you like to have lit discussions with a professional monster and childhood studies scholar? Then consider joining your very own chapter of Monster Book Club?

This club will meet once per month in a private Discord server to discuss a novel, novella, or graphic novel that features monsters and childhood studies related topics. I will pose open-ended questions and facilitate discussions about the themes, characters, metaphors, and sociopolitical implications of the monster lit. You will also have ongoing access to the Discord server to chat with fellow members.

The first three books will be:
