Scary Stories & Folktales.
Hey Page Turners! Are you ready for some thrills and chills?
In October, instead of everyone reading the same book, we will be exploring the themes and elements of scary stories and eerie folktales.
Feel free to choose any frightening, hair-raising, or creepy story you can find, or select one from our list of suggestions below! Come to the meeting ready to share your thoughts on what makes a book feel ominous or unsettling.
