SUMMARY:JANUARY BOOK CLUB (JAN. 25) - The Monster of Elendhaven
DESCRIPTION:The GHOULISH BOOK CLUB continues with January’s pick: THE MONSTER OF ELENDHAVEN by Jennifer Giesbrecht! \nJennifer Giesbrecht paints a darkly compelling fantasy of revenge in The Monster of Elendhaven\, a tale about murder\, a monster\, and the sorcerer who loves both. \nThe city of Elendhaven sulks on the edge of the ocean\, racked by plague\, abandoned by the South\, stripped of industry\, and left to die. But not everything dies so easily. A thing without a name stalks the city\, a thing shaped like a man\, with a dark heart and long pale fingers yearning to wrap around throats. A monster who cannot die. \nHis frail master sends him out on errands\, twisting him with magic\, crafting a plan too cruel to name\, while the monster’s heart grows fonder and colder and more cunning. The sorcerer’s work is subtle\, changing minds and curdling hearts with barely a trace left behind. But there are signs to read for magic hunters coming up from the capital in the South. \nThese monsters of Elendhaven will have their revenge on everyone who wronged the city\, even if they have to burn the world to do it. \nCopies are in stock at our shop (10% off)! We will discuss the book all month on the GHOULISH DISCORD and if you’re local we will do an in-person discussion at our shop on January 25th\, Sunday 6pm. Let’s get reading\, ghouls! \nFind the discord on our linktree: https://linktr.ee/ghoulishbooks \nBuy the book through our webstore and have it shipped to you or choose local pickup: https://ghoulish.rip/product/the-monster-of-elendhaven/ \n(use discount code “jan26bookclub” upon checkout for 10% off)
