Behind the Veil - A Horror Book Club

Welcome behind the veil, in the dark corners of an abandoned attic, watching the shifting shadows on the walls and listening to the strange sounds in the forest.

Meeting : Sunday 6th of September. 10 am. 

Reading : Nothing Taste As Good by Luke Dumas. 

You'd kill to look this good...Over three hundred pounds, Emmett Truesdale has never fit the Southern California mould of six-pack, suntanned masculinity. He's tried every diet under the sun but still he remains stuck in his dead-end job, in love and in his body.

But then he discovers a brand-new, untested weight loss product called Obexity. Desperate for a change, Emmett signs up to the clinical trials and soon he's shedding pounds at superhuman speed. With the weight loss comes a new lease on life.

He gets promoted. He finds the perfect boyfriend. And people finally treat him like he's human.

But he's still hungry for more. And the monster lurking inside of him is desperate to come out.

There will be pastries. Please bring your own beverage of choice (if it’s gin tonic, please make enough to share.)
