What we’re about
Hey Folks! I'm new to the area and don't have a car so I wanted to create a book club that's easy to get to. I'm planning to have a meeting once or twice a month around the Rittenhouse area. You don't have to live around here to join as long as you can make it.
For security purposes I do ask that your profile pic be a picture of you.
Hope to see you soon!

Exit Zero: Stories by Marie-Helene Bertino
Rittenhouse Square, 210 West Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, PA, USHi Folks,
Been wanting to read a short story collection and this one also looks like a good Halloween read:
"Blending seemingly mundane yet emotionally charged fragments of life with backyard unicorns, ghosts and a vampire (or two), this mélange of literary fiction and sci-fi makes all twelve unique tales a treat.
Death-shaped entities—with all of their humor and strangeness— haunt the twelve stories in Exit Zero. Vampires, ghost girls, fathers, blank spaces, day-old peaches, and famous paintings all pierce through their world into ours, reminding us to pay attention! and look alive! and offering many other flashes of wisdom from the oracle and author of Beautyland, Marie-Helene Bertino."

"Ardently whimsical, yet never centerless—solid stories about our tenuous times."
