The Book Club

An intriguingly creepy novella. The book club follows the story of someone searching for his wife, who failed to return from their book club meeting. As we learn more we realise the book club may not be all that it seems and we are thrown into a world of occult and parallel dimensions.

Alan Baxter does an impressive build up, starting with the normalcy of a day, the gradual increasing panic that sets in when someone does not come home as expect. This story increasingly dissolves into the weird as the paranormal elements are introduced. A good slow burn with a fascinating reward.
