Scream Queers Book Club

SLC Scream Queers is a queer horror book club. Due to the graphic nature of some of the books read by the group, it is an 18+ book club but it otherwise open to all.

It is held on the third Saturday of each month at 1 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

Contact elliottwritesslc@gmail.com with any questions.

Cost: Please bring a contribution (sliding scale $1-5) for the meeting room reservation at Under the Umbrella. If $1 a month is a barrier for you, you are still welcome to attend!

If you purchase the next month's book pick after a book club meeting, you'll get 10% off that book.
COVID Precautions: It is a requirement for both the bookstore and the book club to wear a mask.

When possible, please support the store and the authors by purchasing a copy here! Most books should also be available at local libraries. One copy of each book is available for free to any BIPOC person interested in reading the book but unable or unwilling to pay for a copy.
