Don't always get the book read? This book club is for you. Dive into short stories and novellas of all genres. This month's selection is "Haunt Sweet Home." Age 18 and up.

If you have the best of intentions about book clubs, but don't always get the book read, this is for you! If you want to try a new genre without committing to a full book, this is also for you. This month, we'll be reading Haunt Sweet Home by Sarah Pinsker.

Book summary:
When aimless twenty-something Mara lands a job as the night-shift production assistant on her cousin’s ghost hunting/home makeover reality TV show, Haunt Sweet Home, she quickly determines her new role will require a healthy attitude toward duplicity. But as she hides fog machines in the woods and improvises scares to spook new homeowners, a series of unnerving incidents on set and a creepy new coworker force Mara to confront whether the person she's truly been deceiving and hiding from all along is herself.
