The Mary Shelley Club by Goldy Moldavsky

I’m not naturally drawn to scary books.  In fact, they usually send me running in the opposite direction, screaming my fool head off.  But I always try to read a few new horror titles each year.  And I’ve bravely put together this list of even more horrific reads . . . for you.  You’re welcome.  You can find them all at Hoover Public Library.
