Ghouls! It’s June and it’s very very hot. The sun is stupid and we hate it but what can you do? Seriously, what can be done? Can anything be done?
Anyway – we have some killer events lined up this month and we hope you attend every last one of them. Here are our on-site events at Ghoulish Books (9330 Corporate Drive, Suite 702, Selma, TX 78154).
Silent Reading Night at Ghoulish Books
June 18 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Bring your current book over to Ghoulish and join us for an evening of silent reading. From 6:15pm to 7:30pm we will all sit around and read our individual books and just sorta relax with the energy only readers can generate. From 7:30pm – 8:00pm we will allow folks to do some late-night shopping before we close up.
We will have chairs available, but if you want to bring a comfy seat with you that is totally cool and encouraged!

About Bury Your Gays: A manifestation of ecstasy, heartache, horror and suffering rendered in feverish lyrical prose. Inside are sixteen new stories by some of the genre’s most visionary queer writers. Young lovers find themselves deliriously lost in an expanding garden labyrinth. The porter of a sentient hotel is haunted within a liminal time loop. A soldier and his abusive commanding officer escape a war in the trenches but discover themselves in an even greater nightmare. Parasites chase each other across time-space in hungry desperation to never be apart. A graduate student with violent tendencies falls into step with a seemingly walking corpse. Featuring stories from Cassandra Khaw, Joe Koch, Gretchen Felker-Martin, Robbie Banfitch, August Clarke, Son M., Jonathan Louis Duckworth, M.V. Pine, Ed Kurtz, LC Von Hessen, Matteo L. Cerilli, November Rush, Meredith Rose, Charlene Adhiambo, Violet, and Thomas Kearnes.
