  • June 2026 Book Club meeting: Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes | June 17th 6pm

    Location: 3214 Riverside Blvd Sacramento, CA

    -*-

    EARLIER MEET UP DAY. Join us on our community Discord for discussions in-between in person or virtual meetings. Join here.

    Titanic meets Event Horizon in this SF horror novel in which a woman and her crew board a decades-lost luxury cruiser and find the wreckage of a nightmare that hasn't yet ended.

    Claire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed―made obsolete―when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate.

    What they find is shocking: the Aurora, a famous luxury spaceliner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick search of the ship reveals something isn’t right.

  • Special Author Event with After Hours Shopping: Redwoods Gothic Author Panel | June 23rd 6pm - 8pm

    Location: 3214 Riverside Blvd, Sacramento, CA

    -*-

    We are opening Tuesday night for a very special event and shopping experience. We are hosting three incredible California horror authors for a moderated panel all about a new trend in horror: Redwoods Gothic. Meet our authors and their novels:

    Allison Mick’s recent novel Humboldt Cut (Saga), was described as “Redwoods Gothic,” coining a unique subgenre that already existed in the shadows. The story is a heart-wrenching exploration of generational trauma set against the disappearing logging industry. 

    Joshua Millican’s recent novel, a drug-turf-war-turned-creature-feature called Dopefoot (Mad Axe Media), delves into this shadowed realm by tapping into a distinctly Northern Californian frequency. 

    Bitter Karella’s Moonflow (Run For It) follows a trans MC who grows and sells psychedelic mushrooms for a living as she quests for the King’s Breakfast. This mushroom is also used by a forest-dwelling cult of women in strange rituals. Moonflow is a story where the unique setting feels like its own character in the novel.

    RSVP below to be entered to win a free signed copy of one of the author’s books. The winner will be able to choose which book they would like.

    When all hell breaks loose, you need a devil on your side

    Sarita has been watched over by a guardian angel her entire life. She calls him Angelo, and keeps him a secret. But secrets can’t stay buried forever…

    When Angelo murders someone she loves, Sarita begins to see what's really been lurking in the shadows surrounding her. And she will have to embrace the evil within if she hopes to make it out alive.

    Johnny Compton, critically acclaimed author of The Spite House and master of dread, takes you on a terrifying race of one woman against the hordes of hell.
