Horror Book Club!
CHB Lafayette’s Horror Book Club is reading *Uzumaki* by Junji Ito for its May discussion.
We’ll gather at 6:15 p.m. on May 20 at the bookstore to talk about this horror graphic novel.
Synopsis: Kurouzu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but a pattern: UZUMAKI, the spiral--the hypnotic secret shape of the world. The bizarre masterpiece horror manga is now available all in a single volume. Fall into a whirlpool of terror!
_Horror Book Club is CHB Lafayette's bimonthly book club focusing on horror and dark stories! Ashley, a CHB Bookseller, leads the discussion, and we vote at our meetings for our upcoming monthly picks. _
