A dark and atmospheric sapphic gothic horror novel filled with mystery, obsession, and deadly secrets.

Join us for a haunting and beautifully written queer gothic novel that blends mystery, romance, and botanical horror into an unforgettable reading experience.
When Cordelia Beecher escapes the charity school where she was raised in search of her missing brother, she follows a trail of clues to the quiet town of Farrow. But no one seems to know who he is—or what happened to him. Desperate for answers, Cordelia finds refuge at Edenfield, a sprawling estate owned by the enigmatic Lady Evangeline, a renowned botanist known for sheltering young women in need.
As Cordelia settles into life at the estate and grows closer to Evangeline’s daughter Briar, she begins to uncover unsettling secrets hidden among the gardens and glasshouses. When evidence emerges that her brother may have once lived at Edenfield, Cordelia becomes determined to discover the truth, even if it means confronting the darkness growing beneath the estate’s beautiful surface.
Inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic tale Rappaccini’s Daughter, Her Wicked Roots is an atmospheric sapphic gothic filled with poisonous blooms, family secrets, obsession, and questions about the fine line between protection and control. Fans of Mexican Gothic, Midsommar, and eerie slow-burn horror will find plenty to love.
“Darkly enchanting, HER WICKED ROOTS is haunting, propulsive and as hypnotic as the poisonous blooms at the novel’s heart. Truly a bewitching sapphic delight.” – Francesca May, author of Wild and Wicked Things and This Vicious Hunger
Why you should join us
This is more than a book club—it’s a space to connect, reflect, and celebrate queer stories together. Whether you’ve finished the book, just started, or simply want to be part of the conversation, you are welcome. We center community over completion and conversation over perfection. Expect thoughtful discussion, lots of laughs, and a welcoming group that shows up for each other.
All are welcome. No need to be queer to attend—just come ready to listen, share, and be part of something meaningful.

When Imogen Bly’s mother suddenly passes away, she leaves her Seattle apartment and returns to Lake Blair—the picturesque Washington town where she grew up. After Imogen and her twin sister Amelia arrive, ready to pack up their mother’s home, strange things begin to happen, reminding Imogen of her long held feelings of dread surrounding her hometown.
Imogen enlists the help of her first crush, next-door neighbor Rory, to uncover the truth about her mother’s death and the traumatic event she experienced as a child. But is the boy who got away really the man with something to hide? Or is the suspicious neighbor in the house across the lake behind it all?
When Imogen’s own family’s tragedies lead her to question the disappearance of a local young woman the previous year, her persistent unease becomes terrifyingly real and suddenly nowhere feels safe …

A “tradwife” influencer suddenly awakens in the brutal reality of 1855— is it an elaborate hoax or something more sinister?
Our Fantasy Book Club selection for August is Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke.

“A bold and biting satire,&nbsp;Yesteryear…will have you cackling and gasping right to the final page.” —Nita Prose, #1&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;The Maid&nbsp;series
My name was Natalie Heller Mills, and I was perfect at being alive.
Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle. Her charming farmhouse is rustic, her husband a handsome cowboy, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers behind the scenes, her kitchen hiding industrial-grade fridges and ovens, her husband the heir to a political dynasty? What Natalie’s followers—all 8 million of them—don’t know won’t hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged, Ivy League, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They’re sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn’t simply living the good life, she’s living the ideal—and just so happens to be building an empire from it.
Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn’t hers. Her home, her husband, her children—they’re all familiar, but something’s off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity, her children are dirty and strange, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent farmer. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram, and now she’s expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes until her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a ruthless reality show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By Satan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life, and she must escape by any means possible.
A gripping, electrifying novel that is as darkly funny as it is frightening,&nbsp;Yesteryear&nbsp;is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition, fame, faith, and the grand performance of womanhood.

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
